Was he destined to fail? This has been a very messy season in Paris, could anything have been done to avoid it? “He wasn't destined to fail but he wasn't helped at all,” says Morin. “You have to imagine that Pochettino had to deal with a team he didn't build to his idea.

“Leonardo was in charge of the transfers and, except Wijnaldum which appears to be now a huge disappointment, no player bought by PSG last summer were representative of Pochettino's football seen at Tottenham. “Also, he failed to create an on-field harmony between Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Messi and wasn't helped by the poor individual level seen from the Brazilian and the Argentine this season. He had to play politics as well — with Donnarumma and Keylor Navas — which wasn't what he wanted.
