Mauricio Pochettino welcomed Paris Saint-Germain’s narrow opening-day Ligue 1 victory at Troyes on Saturday.

Oualid El Hajjam gave the hosts a surprise lead at the Stade de l’Aube, but PSG responded quickly through Achraf Hakimi and Mauro Icardi to secure the win.

“It was very important to get the three points and start the season in this way,” PSG manager Pochettino said.

“Maybe we didn’t play the full 90 minutes the way we wanted to. There were good and not-so-good periods in the game but overall I’m happy.

“Troyes deserve a lot of credit. I think they played very well. It was really difficult, but we know the start of the season is always difficult.

The Argentine also welcomed the return of crowds after a season of behind-closed doors games last season.

“I think the supporters were amazing. The adrenaline we felt today is what we missed for nearly two years without the fans.

“It’s been a nightmare, very bad for all of us that love football and its passion, so today we are very happy to see the fans back in the stadium.”

Les Parisiens will entertain Strasbourg at the Parc des Prices next Saturday.
