You know how Xabi Alonso played under Pep, Mourinho, Ancelotti, Benitez etc...

Which current player do you think has worked under the best collection of managers?

I think it might be Ilkay Gundogan.

Klopp, Tuchel, Pep, Flick, Nagelsmann... what an education!

🎙️ Mauricio Pochettino: "It's not difficult to explain. Everyone saw we didn't compete from the beginning of the game.

After we conceded the team was so soft. I'm so disappointed with the start because we're supposed to have full energy and compete better.

We were not aggressive and we did not concentrate on situations where it is easy to find the solution. That is why I'm so disappointed.

We were talking at half-time to start in a different way. But we did not. When we conceded the third goal the team gave up.

The team showed a lack of capacity to resist - that is what is the problem."
