Javier Pastore "needed" Paris Saint-Germain performance against Bordeaux

Javier Pastore has expressed his delight with his own performance during Paris Saint-Germain's win at Bordeaux on Tuesday.

The midfielder, who has recently been linked with a move away from Parc des Princes after a slump in form, scored one goal and made another as the Ligue 1 champions enjoyed a 3-1 win at the Stade Chaban-Delmas to advance to the semi-finals of the Coupe de la Ligue.

"We played very well in the first half, with a lot of focus and concentration," Pastore told the club's official website. "The goals came later and that's the most important thing.

"I am very happy with my match. I scored and laid on my assist. I needed this kind of match. I felt great out there and I hope it continues now."

Pastore is reported to have interested Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur.
