The stars of Paris Saint Germain remain behind Mauricio Pochettino in the wake of Lionel Messi 's shock substitution against Lyon.
The former Tottenham boss has earned respect inside the dressing room since his arrival but the external pressure has been ramped up since the arrival of the former Barcelona star.
Pochettino knows there is little margin for error as criticism followed a lacklustre 1-1 draw with Brugge in their Champions League opener and missing out on the Ligue 1 title last season.
And the clash with OL was locked at 1-1 when Messi left the pitch and refused a handshake from his manager. But it all worked well as Mauro Icardi grabbed a last-gasp winner.
And daily publication L'Equipe insists there's no mutiny inside a club who are under pressure to lift their first ever Champions League crown with Messi, Neymar and Kylian Mbappe leading a box-office squad.
A report said: “Internally, Pochettino's qualities in human management are praised by the players.
"Most describe a man who is solid in his convictions, honest in the way he proceeds and in his speech in front of the troops and face to face."
Messi is understood to be suffering from bone bruising and PSG have announced the 34-year-old will miss the Metz clash on Wednesday.
