PARIS (Reuters) - Mauricio Pochettino has been insisting that Paris St Germain have yet to become a team and Tuesday's 3-2 Champions League victory against RB Leipzig served as a reminder that the Ligue 1 side have yet to find their collective stride.

PSG were overwhelmed in the midfield, their full backs often caught off guard by a visiting team who played with high pressure throughout and the French club only had Kylian Mbappe's brilliance and Lionel Messi's clinical finish to be happy about.

PSG went ahead early on as Mbappe fired home at the end of a sharp counterattack but fell behind after goals at the far post by Andre Silva and Nordi Mukiele. Until then, Messi had been a pale shadow of his brilliant self, stuck near the touchline with too little speed to make a difference. "The most important thing is that we won. We suffered. You have to suffer, nothing is given to you in football. We'd said to ourselves before the game that it wouldn’t be easy," said captain Marquinhos.
