PSG leaves Leipzig (2-2) with the point of a draw after this fourth match of the Champions League.
A penalty conceded at the end of the game offered the equalizer to the Germans.
A regret for Mauricio Pochettino, who also did not want to see his team start the match so badly.
He recognizes a certain nervousness but prefers to retain the "character" of his players.
Your team has shown character in recent weeks.
But how to explain the nervousness of the players at the start and end of the match?
MAURICIO POCHETTINO.
The match started very badly with actions against us.
We were nervous afterwards.
The Leipzig team has a lot of energy, we have problems, we knew that.
We showed character, the sense of sacrifice.
From that, we can build things.
We had a lot of possibilities to lead more in the second half to kill the game.
It's a shame to have conceded this goal.
But we will retain character and resilience.
I am of course disappointed with the result.
Manchester City took the lead in the standings.
Does this change anything for you?
No.
The goal is qualification.
If we can be first, it's better.
We're second at the moment.
But the goal remains the same.
We have to go there to get a result.
Are you disappointed with the content offered by your players?
No.
Like the players, I'm disappointed with the first 15 or 20 minutes.
We had a lot of trouble getting into the game.
This is the biggest disappointment.
We regained our energy and scored two goals.
We were calmer in the second half.
We had the best chances.
We did not want to give this image at the start of the meeting.

Did you lose control in this meeting?
We haven't lost control.
We got it.
We didn't get it for the first 15 or 20 minutes.
There is a final action in which the penalty is conceded.
But we always come back to the same thing: football is about scoring in key moments, killing matches at the right time.
Otherwise, the opposite can happen.
Wijnaldum started and scored a brace.
Is this the opportunity for him to integrate this environment and succeed at PSG?
We cannot travel to the future.
As always, we will see after the analyzes which player is or not.
But I'm happy with the goals Wijnaldum scored tonight.
Can you give us details of your tactical requests, in particular with the role of Danilo who went down in defense on the defensive phases?
It will take us an hour for a tactical conference.
It is not easy to explain.
The offensive and defensive animations work in a different way.
Depending on the behavior of the opponent too.
Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
We try to adapt to different situations.
