Pochettino, in an interview with MOTD, shared his thoughts on the match, stating, “I believe we let slip two points. We are obviously disappointed, but it doesn’t change our analysis and assessment of the game. We put up a strong fight against a top-notch team that was contending for the Premier League title last season.”

Highlighting the youthfulness of his team, Pochettino found pride in their competitiveness but couldn’t hide his disappointment over the lost points. He pointed out that Chelsea had control of the game and were playing well, but the risk of conceding led to their frustration.

Pochettino concluded by emphasizing his desire to see his players upset over dropping two points and underscored the team’s positive direction. Chelsea aims to demonstrate their ability to compete at the highest level.
