The 34-year-old who is yet to register his first goal for the Parisians wanted to play the entire game before he was subbed off for Achraf Hakimi.
It was later discovered that Messi was in discomfort on his right knee during the game that led to his substitution.
And right at the death of the game, Mauro Icardi grabbed the winner for PSG and proved Pochettino's tactics towards the end of the game.
Pochettino said after the game:
"Every coach thinks about that. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes players like it and sometimes they don't.
"At the end of the day, that's why we're here. These are decisions that have to be made by the coach.
"As for his reaction, I asked him how he was, he said he was OK. That was it. That was our exchange."
