Mauricio Pochettino spoke ahead of the clash with Leipzig: "We trust everyone. That's the way we see it, every player is important, all season long. They must feel important to be the best they can be. Obviously, we rely on the captain, on experienced players, but also on less experienced players. The demands of the coach in managing a group are more pronounced than in the past. "

"In every match there are complications. As a coach, you always try to improve the team. We are in a phase of team development. There are several stages. We are in a particular stage that we are trying to develop. Some players are also in a period of adaptation, discovering new teammates. Wednesday's match will be complicated. We are happy with the first leg and the result against a very physical team that made things difficult for us. "

He also touched on the subject of Angel Di Maria: "You're talking to me about a name that shines on its own in soccer. As I said, all players are important. Angel is a very important player. He has been at the club for years. In a team, balance is important in the different phases of the game, he brings his quality. We can always count on players like him. I repeat, teams need balance, the ability of each player to invest in all phases of the game, the team remains the most important. If this works perfectly, the individualities will appear naturally. We continue to work on this balance. "

PSG will come into this match after beating Lille in Ligue 1 and topping the competition. In the Champions League, Pochettino's men have two wins and a draw to their name and are still at the top of the table.

Leipzig arrives to this match after drawing in the Bundesliga against Eintracht Frankfurt to one goal; however, in the Champions League they have not scored a single unit, so if they want to aspire to something more in this competition, the German team needs to win urgently.
