Pochettino wants to see PSG resolve

The Parisians have won seven of the last eight French crowns but a 1-1 draw at Rennes has handed Lille the initiative with just two games of the season remaining.

Pochettino's team have league clashes against Reims and Brest remaining, but their initial thoughts will be towards a Coupe de France semi-final clash at Montpellier on Wednesday.

Sunday's stalemate, however, was the latest setback after they lost both legs of their Champions League semi-final with Manchester City and Pochettino will be looking for a galvanising effort in the cup.

Lille, who won 1-0 at PSG last month, were 3-0 winners at Lens on Friday and have games against St Etienne and Angers left. They won the latest of their three French titles in 2011.

Pochettino said: "We are all disappointed because it was a must-win game and we didn't offer the performance that we expected.

"We didn't show enough to win the game and they played well."

"We need to move forward, we cannot wait and it's our responsibility and our obligation to always be ready for the next match.

PSG are 4/11 to win Wednesday's match with Montpellier, who are 6/1 to win in 90 minutes. The draw is available at 17/4.
