PSG boss Mauricio Pochettino has warned that his side be wary of one major thing ahead of their Champions League fixture with Bayern Munich.

Pochettino has called on PSG to improve on their home form as they prepare to take on Bayern Munich in the return leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash.

After PSG’s victory at the Allianz Arena last week, the former Tottenham manager is hoping his team’s home form will match their away performances on Tuesday.

The French champions advanced from the last 16 with a 4-1 away win in the first leg against Barcelona before a 1-1 draw in the return leg at the Parc des Princes.

In Ligue 1, their best display of the season came last month in a 4-2 win at Lyon, which was followed nine days ago by a 1-0 home defeat against Lille.

“I agree that we’ve been better away from home,” Pochettino said as quoted by the Daily Mail.

“It is something we will have to look into at the end of the season but let’s hope things start turning around tomorrow.”

Pochettino also described Bayern as the “best team in Europe” and said PSG’s attitude would be key to avenging their defeat in the final last year.

“It was already hard to keep the ball against Barcelona already, it doesn’t matter who is playing. It’s a question of collective attitude,” he added.

“It’s a challenge for tomorrow, being able to keep the ball and hurt the opposition. The Barça game is behind us and the Bayern game is another story. There will be moments when we will struggle and it’s in these moments that we will need to show solidarity and solidity.”
