Pochettino praises ‘world-class’ Mbappe
The Frenchman was handed the match ball after scoring a stunning hat-trick against Barcelona, helping his side achieve a 4-1 victory in the Champions League last-16 first leg.
"Before the match, he asked me how many times I had won at Camp Nou,"
Pochettino
said in his post-game press conference.
"'Once,' I told him. He replied to me: 'Tomorrow, we are going to win a second time.'
He added:
"He is a top player. Great footballers write their history. They evolve match after match. With this hat-trick, Kylian will be in the spotlight but we had no doubts.
"He's world-class. No one can discover Mbappe tonight. He's a fantastic player and he's very happy in our club. He said it, I said it too."
Mbappe
became the third player who has scored a hattrick against
Barcelona
in the Champions League.
