JAKARTA - Mauricio Pochettino insists Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) are still aiming for victory in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich at the Parc des Princes on Wednesday morning, despite their 3-2 aggregate lead.

PSG won at the Allianz Arena a week ago after converting three of their six shot attempts, which are statistically 25 times fewer than Bayern's.

Inequality in the efficiency of the attack, it is believed Pochettino will not change bayern's game preferences when visiting the Parc des Princes, as he himself will maintain the style of Les Parisiens.

"Football is a game and we will see who is more successful in implementing the idea," Pochettino said as quoted by Antara from PSG's official website on Tuesday, April 13.

Pochettino admitted that with a track record of winning six trophies in the past year, Bayern remain the side to be seeded for tomorrow's game.

The first leg leaves PSG in a position to benefit, with only a draw needed to qualify, but Pochettino insists his team will still be chasing a win.

"Bayern are the best team in Europe and we have to respect them. We're pretty confident in the situation right now, but it feels like we've got to figure out how to win the game to make sure we get out," he said.

"Bayern are the champions, have six trophies, obviously they are seeded. But we want to win this game. For our club, being able to reach the semi-finals is a huge achievement," Pochettino said.

Pochettino said Marquinhos, who scored but was injured in the first leg, had a chance to be in the squad for tomorrow's game but was certainly not going to go down from the start.

The former Tottenham Hotspur coach is yet to make a decision on the condition of Marco Verratti, Alessandro Florenzi and Moise Kean, but Mauro Icardi is certainly not going to take part.
