Paris St-Germain boss Mauricio Pochettino says Wednesday's Champions League semi-final first leg with Manchester City will not be a personal battle with Pep Guardiola.
Pochettino oversaw victory against Guardiola's City in the quarter-finals of the competition in 2019.
The two also had many battles in the Premier League before Spurs sacked Pochettino later that year.
"It's not a personal battle, it's not a personal game," said Pochettino.
"It's a battle between two very good teams.
"When you talk about Pep Guardiola, you are talking about one of the best coaches in the world, if not the best. I admire Pep not only for the titles but the legacy that he is building in football."

'We want to be in the elite of this competition'
Guardiola has led City into the semi-finals of the competition for the first time since he took charge in 2016.
He faces a tough challenge against last year's runners-up, who have beaten Barcelona and defending champions Bayern Munich this season.
Guardiola believes facing PSG offers his side the best chance to prove they deserve to be among the best in Europe.
"We are not in the elite of this competition, but we want to be there for sure," he said.
"The owners, when they took over, wanted to take us there in England first, and we are lucky to live where we are now.
"The Premier League is the most important one, but the Champions League is the nicest one, I think."
Guardiola has fully fit squad to choose from while PSG are expected to have 37-goal striker Kylian Mbappe, who went off injured against Metz at the weekend, fit to start.

Neymar, Sergio fight.

Clash of Titans.....


We are winning PSG today, e go shock una

Man City in the Finals.

Noted

Nice

This should have been a Finals Fixture

CSTRR:

Well Chelsea would have beaten mancity if they met in the semis.

So it is not a finals fixture.

Really?
Soccer is like biscuit you know....

I SWEAR!!

An all English final would end up being like a overhyped Super Sunday clash with too many passes and would still end goalless. Even a PSG Vs CHE final doesn't come close to this fixture.

LIV vs TOT remains the most boring UCL final for a reason

Those still in Europe are above.....observers are below

Penalty will likely decide this fixture.
This match is more like a game of chess.

If PSG wins today they will definitely win the champions league.

But if Man city wins then it will be between city and Chelsea.

As for Madrid they can’t win Chelsea Away, if they play dt nonsense dey played yesterday.
