Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.

But despite their heroic performance in the league, Pochettino's team encountered tenacious sniping away from home.

Going to Russia in ice and snow to play away games at the end of November is a torment for any team. This is true for Paris Saint-Germain, not to mention Chinatown.

In the fifth round of the Champions League group stage, relying on Pellet's pass and shot, Chinatown scored two goals in two minutes and established an early lead. However, in the second half, Zenit St. Petersburg launched a counterattack.
