Pochettino hails Messi and Mbappe following PSG's 3-2 win over Leipzig | PSG vs RB Leipzig | UCL

Reaction from Paris St-Germain head coach Mauricio Pochettino following a hard-fought 3-2 win over RB Leipzig in their UEFA Champions League Group A match. Kylian Mbappe opened the scoring for PSG before goals from Andre Silva and Nordi Mukiele put Leipzig on course for a famous victory. But Lionel Messi came to PSG's rescue by scoring twice in the last half hour to secure the win for the French side. Mbappe won the penalty for Messi's winner but pointed straight at Messi to tell him he could take the spot kick. In Group A's other game, Algeria winger Riyad Mahrez scored twice as Manchester City crushed Club Brugge 5-1 in Belgium. PSG top the group with seven points from three games. City have six points, Club Brugge four, while Leipzig have now slumped to three straight defeats. 1. SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Mauricio Pochettino, Paris Saint-Germain head coach: (On Paris Saint-Germain's struggles during the match) "With time I am sure that certain things will work much better, everything will be smoother. But it's true that talent shines out, and players like Leo (Messi) obviously and Kylian (Mbappe) or Julian (Draxler), who were our most attacking players tonight, have huge talent and their connection goes beyond the work that they actually did together." 2. SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Mauricio Pochettino, Paris Saint-Germain head coach: (On Leipzig) "I think we conceded two goals while holding a man advantage, and I think we should look into that and improve in those situations. But we played against a team who scored three goals at Manchester City in the first Champions League matchday, so we should also respect the value of our opponents, who did a good job." 3. SOUNDBITE (Spanish): Mauricio Pochettino, Paris Saint-Germain head coach: (On Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi) "The talent of Kylian and Leo is pretty obvious, they play for Paris Saint-Germain and so in matches where the team as a whole cannot find the right answers, I think that such talented players can find solutions like they did today. This is why it is important to have players of this calibre in a team like Paris Saint-Germain who want to win every match."
