Paris Saint-Germain's best results this season have come away from home and coach Mauricio Pochettino remains optimistic they can reach the Champions League final despite throwing away the lead to lose 2-1 at home to Manchester City in the semi-final first leg on Wednesday.

Paris Saint-Germain’s Argentinian midfielder Leandro Paredes, Paris Saint-Germain’s Brazilian forward Neymar, Paris Saint-Germain’s Brazilian defender Marquinhos, Paris Saint-Germain’s Italian midfielder Marco Verratti and Paris Saint-Germain’s Argentinian midfielder Angel Di Maria celebrate after scoring a goal during the UEFA Champions League first leg semi-final football match between Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City at the Parc des Princes stadium in Paris on April 28, 2021.

After all, PSG has already reached this stage of the competition on the strength of their away performances, beating Barcelona 4-1 at the Camp Nou in the last 16 and defeating Bayern 3-2 in Munich in the quarter-finals, results that enabled them to advance despite failing to beat either side in Paris.

“They are a very good team but we need to believe, and we have the talent. Tonight was a painful night, the way we conceded the goals was painful but we need to look forward, try to be optimistic, be positive and believe we can win the game and be in the final.”Since arriving at PSG in January, Pochettino has drawn on the devastating pace of Kylian Mbappe, in particular, to turn the French club into a potent counter-attacking force, in stark contrast to their often woeful home results.

PSG have another home league game on Saturday, against Lens, before they can focus fully on the second leg against City. Such a result would not do for PSG next week though, and Pochettino added: “We need to go to Manchester thinking we need to win and that we need to score two goals.”
