PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino shared his thoughts in Paris, Tuesday, after his side beat Real Madrid 1-0 in the first leg of the Champion's League round-of-16 at Parc des Princes.

"I think the result is a bit short, but it gives us hope for Madrid knowing that it’s going to be very complicated,” the manager told a post-match press conference.

Kylian Mbappe sealed the victory with a beautiful 94th-minute winner.

When asked what he felt after Mbappe's goal, Pochettino said, “I felt joy but after a while pain in my nose because [Leandro] Paredes came and hit me in the face when he came to celebrate. I thought I had broken my nose.”
