Kylian Mbappe's double in a performance of real endeavour saw Paris Saint-Germain earn a surprise 3-2 Champions League quarter-final first-leg win at holders Bayern Munich.
Pochettino side went ahead after Mbappe shot went pass Manuel Neuer into the bottom corner with less than three minutes
They doubled their advantage before half-time after Bayern switched off from a corner and left Marquinhos to turn Neymar's ball forward beyond Neuer, although the PSG captain was injured in the process and forced off moments later.
Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting pulled a goal back with the interval approaching from Benjamin Pavard's cross with another, from Joshua Kimmich. And the comeback was completed after Thomas Muller head past Keylor Navas on the hour mark.
But it looked like Paris Saint-Germain wanted it more as Neymar and Mbappe combined against and caused real problems, the Brazilian teed up Mbappe who got the better of Neuer from a near post giving the French side a sensational first-leg advantage - and three away goals - ahead of Tuesday's second leg at the Parc des Princes.
