Paris won at home to Lille in the early hours of this morning, and Di Maria scored his final goal. Pochettino replaced Messi at half-time, which he explained after the game.
Pochettino said: "Messi did not go off because of injury, I communicated with the team doctor, it was a precaution because I wanted him to play against Leipzig, so he was replaced. It's no coincidence that the team won 10 of 12 league games, we had the right mindset, responded to difficulties and completed a reversal today. ”
