Pochettino stood by as Real Madrid defeated PSG 3-1 in the second leg of the Champions League round of 16 encounter.
Real Madrid advanced to the quarter-finals thanks to three goals from Karim Benzema, but PSG’s lone strike from Kylian Mbappe proved insufficient.
Real Madrid had lost 1-0 to PSG in the first leg but advanced on a 3-2 aggregate score.
Pochettino said in his post-match press conference that the present is all he can deal with.
“As for the future, what will be will be. We play to compete and to win. It’s a hard blow to take, but we have to keep a calm head now,” he said.
