Pochettino, confirmed as Thomas Tuchel’s successor on Saturday, saw PSG dominate possession, but struggle to create many clear-cut chances in central France.

Home goalkeeper Jessy Moulin pulled off a good save to deny Argentine winger Angel di Maria and PSG substitute Pablo Sarabia fired over from close range in stoppage time.
