Mauricio Pochettino: 'It is impossible to talk about my future'

Pochettino: 'It is impossible to talk about my future'

Paris Saint-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino has claimed that it is "impossible" to discuss his future after Les Parisiens' exit from the Champions League at the hands of Real Madrid.

Boasting a 1-0 lead from the first leg, PSG were seemingly set to stroll through to the quarter-finals after Kylian Mbappe put the French giants 2-0 up on aggregate.

However, PSG capitulated at the Santiago Bernabeu as Karim Benzema's hat-trick turned the tie on its head, forcing PSG to wait at least another year for a first-ever Champions League crown.

Pochettino's future in the hotseat is now in fresh doubt after Wednesday's European heartbreak, but the Argentine was quick to brush off questions about his job after the game.

Speaking to RMC Sport, Pochettino said: "It's simply impossible to discuss about it now, it's not the right moment. We're really disappointed tonight. We will all have to get up because it is a difficult time for us."

PSG have now been knocked out in the last-16 of the Champions League in four of the last six editions of the tournament and now only have the Ligue 1 title left to fight for this term.
