Congratulations to Mauricio Pochettino. The new coach of Paris Saint-Germain achieved his first title as coach tonight (Wednesday), after his team defeated Marseille 1: 2 and won the French Super Cup for the eighth time in a row, and now it will return to concentrate in the league to try to achieve an eighth championship in a row. Is in second place in the table.
Lest you misunderstand, PSG is still far from looking the way he wants to look and it can be said that Marseille were better in this final. The best news for the new title winner is without a doubt Neymar’s return to the pitches, after the Brazilian was absent last month. He started on the bench tonight and came on as a substitute in the 65th minute, and later also found the net.
Pochettino’s men went up to 0: 1 in the 39th minute, when Angel Di Maria provided a tremendous depth ball to the Marseille pitch. Mauro Icardi slammed towards the goal, was repulsed by Steve Mandanda, but penned on the rebound and closely managed to push his foot and push the ball into the net. Neymar doubled and made it 0: 2 in the 88th minute with an accurate penalty, and just one minute later Dimitri Fayette shrank with a great goal, which was not enough for Andre Villas Boas’ trainees to return – and PSG won the title.
