Managing Messi, Neymar and Mbappe confusing-Pochettino 

Former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) manager Mauricio Pochettino admitted that managing superstars like Lionel Messi, Neymar, and Kylian Mbappe was a tough task.

Having a trio like the Parisians have could be a dream scenario for any team as all three players are among the best in the world in their respective positions. However, that comes with added responsibility also.

"It [PSG] was the experience we needed, the experience of living with big stars and interacting at the top level of football. It was the challenge of putting yourself in a difficult situation and trying to make such a special club work. You need to constantly adapt because there was too much greatness."

He further added:

"For Barca to have Messi or for Madrid to have Cristiano is a blessing. But when you put in too many players who all need their place and to be number one, there can be confusion. In the end, when you play, it's 11 players with one ball. There was a penalty, and who takes it? It's not even a coach's decision."

Pochettino was in charge of the French club last season. While PSG managed to win the Ligue 1 trophy, they were beaten by Real Madrid in the Round of 16 stage of the tournament.

Christophe Galtier replaced the Argentine at the start of the season. The Parisians are currently at the top of the league table with 38 points from 14 games.

They have also qualified for the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League as Messi, Neymar, Mbappe and co. will take on Bayern Munich in the Round of 16 tie.
