Africa-Press – Nigeria. <\/strong><\/span>Paris Saint-Germain boss, Mauricio Pochettino, has insisted that it will be extra motivation for his players after UEFA moved the final of this year\u2019s Champions League from St Petersburg to Paris.<\/p>\n

The Champions League final was initially scheduled to be played at the Gazprom Arena, Russia, on May 28.<\/p>\n

But following the invasion of Ukraine, Russia will no longer host the Champions League final.<\/p>\n

The Champions League final will instead take place at the Stade de France in Paris, France.<\/p>\n

Reacting, Pochettino told a press conference as PSG defeated St-Etienne 3-1 on Saturday: \u201cIt\u2019s an extra motivation; there is great excitement.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have already taken part in a Champions League final, and that is something extraordinary. But there is a lot of work ahead of us to get there.\u201d<\/p>\n

Pochettino\u2019s men will hope to build on their 1-0 lead when they take on Real Madrid in the Champions League round of 16 second-leg tie in March.<\/p>\n
