Knocking out Barcelona and Bayern on the way to the Champions League semi-finals is huge, if he manages is it that is, you can't play that down.

The "Anyone could have won if they Neymar" patrol will waste no time in downplaying it, don't you worry
Flick changed them and got them performing, PSG are still disappointing in Ligue 1, Poch hasn't had any impact whatsoever.
Answer this simple question, do you think that PSG and Bayern squads are equivalent?
I know..
I still expect Bayern to go through. Bayern won't miss this many chances two games in a row.
Even Sampaoli got something out of Marseille, having been appointed later than Poch and with much much worse players. Answer your question with Marseille instead of Bayern.
Personally I am thinking - he is up against Choupo-Mouting rather than Lewandowski - that's like winning 5 million on the lottery
Goal attempts 24-6, Corners 15-1...
That's as close to a robbery as you get

If he gets to the semis, he'll deserve some credit for sure but at the same he's had some non negligeable luck along his side. I just like to put things into context, so far I don't see what Poch has brought to PSG having watched them closely this season.
No, answer my question and Pochettino has a 70% win rate with PSG, it's not as if we are talking about an average record.

That's without blocked shots.
The channel I saw the game on counted 31 shots for Bayern.
All I said is that he hasn't had an impact on them yet and so far you haven't shown how wrong I am. Tuchel had a bigger win rate tbh, not that it really matters.
This is Mourinho-Like so far.
It will always give you some lucky results, but longterm things like this will never work.

So, almost Chelsea 2012-esque, certainly felt like it at times.
PSG will so Bayern on the counter in the next leg. It won’t be a tactical masterclass, it’s just how it’ll be with Bayern attacking nonstop
A bit fortunate tonight as Bayern should have scored more. They did well to get the win with a back four and midfield of Dagba, Danilo, Kimpembe, Diallo, Gueye and Herrera.
I personally don't rate their squad all that highly.

This wasn't good by PSG, 9 times out of 10 Bayern ends up winning this comfortably.
Still reckon Bayern will go through tbh.
The ones downplaying are the ones who Pochettino has made eat crow. What Pochettino accomplished with these result, most if not all managers in football won’t be able to do. These are the top teams in Europe that they scored a lot in.
Even with some of our best squads ever - including treble and double winning ones - coupled with having one of the greatest managers ever, we've never once won away to Barcelona or Bayern Munich.
Poch has done it in a single season. Excellent stuff.

Barca slaughtered them in the second leg and Bayern did so here, however the finishing from both was poor so if gets through the second leg against Bayern then yeah that is a great achievement however no doubt there has been massive luck involved.
Imagine genuinely thinking that Ole is as good as this guy. Or even better just because you know, "we're second" after spending £300m 
One is beating the best team in the world on their turf scoring 3 goals (4 against Barca at Nou camp) and the other one is going out of CL in group stage after losing to a team that's much inferior conceding 3 even after playing 5 at the back. There's a world of difference between them.

Official UEFA stats was 31 shots for Bayern, plus 64% possession.
For some perspective against RB leipzig at the weekend Bayern had 9 shots on goal, 5 on target, 45% possession.
Ole would be doing alright if he inherited Neymar and MbappeImagine genuinely thinking that Ole is as good as this guy. Or even better just because you know, "we're second" after spending £300m

While I do believe Poch is a better coach than Ole its not logical to compare PSG to us currently, they have a superior team than us its not fair to compare the results in UCL directly.Imagine genuinely thinking that Ole is as good as this guy.

For anyone wondering why people “infect” this thread supporting Ole just read this post. Next time Poch’s PSG loses don’t be suprised when people come in here taking the piss.
Bit like the “only won because of the individual brilliance of Bruno brigade”

Neymar alone cost nearly $300million. Ole is only using $200m first team players out of that $300m.
No manager gets credit for the opposition failing to finish.
They have underachieved time and time again in the C.L. In that tournament he has so far only taken them to the level where they should be - but in the league they have been poor consindering the majority of their opponents players wouldnt get into the PSG-squad.
Only superior because they are better coached. Manchester United has spent as much or even more than PSG, yet we were knocked out in the group stages. Great coaches make the team play above their level which pochettino is doing with psg with the likes of kean, Gueyue, Dagbo, Diallo, Drexler, Di Maria(another United rejected all of the sudden playing well), Herrera, Bakker and so on all being an integral part of the team. If we had a better coach, we will be playing better football and our fans will actually finally realize how talented our team is. Spending another £300m won't fix anything if we don't have a good footballing philosophy like Pochettino has implemented at PSG
I thought they played worse than they did in the final but they got over the line as they did against Barcelona and that's all PSG fans will care about.
like Poccetino has implemented in 4 months in PSG? You do realize this is a team that got to the UCL final last year right?
While our squad is balanced with them they got 2 Worldclass players in Neymar and Mbappe. That sets all the difference. Those there are 2 of the top 5 players in the world.
Again I do think Poccetino is better than Ole but lets not be silly.
Pochettino was without Marquinhos (his best defender and starter), Verratti (his best midfielder) and Paredes (a starting midfielder).
All this talk about Lewandowski this and Lewandowski, please take both sides of the story into account.

Unless Bayern score four they'll have to win by two. I could still very much seeing that happen, especially with PSG letting this win go to their head regardless Poch probably trying to bring them down to earth. Who knows. Chances are Mbappe is gone after this season win or lose the champions league, or am I wrong? Imagine how much PSG will struggle after that. I also don't see how people are pointing out that a powerhouse like Bayern didn't have one player (although be it their main man) and use that as an excuse.
If that was United the story would have been "class Mbappe saves Ole".Goal attempts 24-6, Corners 15-1...
That's as close to a robbery as you get
Complete robbery of a result but, you do also need some luck to win things. The tie is not over though. Bayern can put 5 or 6 past PSG the way they looked.
Yes Bayern was without Sule, Goretzka, Gnabry and Lewandowski.
