PSG brushed aside doubts over Mauricio Pochettino's future, amid links to the Manchester United job, as they came from behind to beat 10-men St Etienne 3-1.
Match Report
Pochettino's future with the Parisians dominated the headlines pre-match but his players showed no distraction. They dominated much of the first-half but Denis Bouanga gave St Etienne the lead with a rebound inside the box. But they got on level terms when Timothee Kolodziejczak was sent off on the stroke of half-time and Marquinhos scored from the resulting free-kick.
The visitors side started the second-half as they left the first but they squandered many glaring opportunities before Angel Di Maria put them ahead with just over 10 minutes to go. Marquinhos struck again with an injury time header to secure the win for PSG.

Diego was not Diego for 15 years he declined after his days in Naples . He is the best player ever next to Leo. A commentator? 😎are you serious ? Are you providing “A commentator” as an evidence ? Who is this commentator ? Would Diego have thought the same ? And did not Messi take Argentina to the Final while CR7 is nowhere near ? Was he not the best player of 2014 ? Did CR7 even come close ?
Diego is still Diego in Argentina.. he won. a world cup and not a friendly copper America ))

CR7 had 5 hattricks of assists before Messi recently equaled him...
🅰️ 18, 15, 17, 36, 22, 16, 22, 26, 31, 16, 26, 18, 19, 17* - these are Leo Messi’s assist numbers since 2008, meaning the GOAT has registered 15+ ASSISTS in every year for the past 14 YEARS. The greatest playmaker of all-time. The greatest of all-time. 🎩🐐 Be thankful kid that your Ronaldo is being compared with messi!! While your Ronaldo scoring tap in goals messi is busy with scoring and assisting!! the only player who have won golden boots and ballondor 6 times also IFFHS play maker award which Ronaldo can only dream of lol🤣

Am a Messi fan but sometimes we’re too biased Messi isn’t the only player in this world and we have players like Lewandowski,Salah,Benzema and upcoming stars like Mbappe and Haaland who are trying their best every season

lol.. diego is Diego and he is rated by Argentinians ahead of your idol. cos he didn't win a friendly copper America.. he won world cup.. a commentator today could even remember how copper America is said. . he said cos it's an irrelevant tournament compared to even African Nations cup

Ronaldo 0.7 successful Dribbles, 2.7, duels won, 1.6 Ground Duels. 22 passes, 0.3 long balls per 90, 2 big chances created and 0.9 key passes. 6 G+A in 8 STARTS.

pseudo stats like isaid and I repeat it. if you talk about stats of a forward it's his goals and assists that matter the most. if he isn't doing any of those he's seen as not in form.

Messi doesn't care about what anyone thinks,he proved himself when he was below 10 years so at the moment he owes no one anything he worked hard to be where he is that's why he is enjoying the fame,game,love,hate,and those millions
