Arsene Wenger believes Paris Saint-Germain's intelligent way of "blocking" Paul Pogba was key in Les Parisiens' beating Manchester United 2-0 in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday.
Wenger was on commentary duty for beIN Sports (h/t Alex Richards of the Daily Mirror) as goals from Presnel Kimpembe and Kylian Mbappe helped PSG win the first leg of the last-16 tie at Old Trafford.
Pogba had been in form before the match, but he couldn't impose himself before being sent off for a second bookable offence late on.
Former Arsenal manager Wenger detailed how PSG took a dual approach to limiting the influence of United's chief playmaker: "What Paris Saint-Germain did is they blocked Pogba with Marquinhos in man-to-man marking, and when Paris Saint-Germain had the ball, Draxler came in behind Pogba and that's where the chances were created behind the midfield of Manchester United.
