Paris Saint-Germain largely won against the fans of Revel to punch their ticket for the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, this Sunday (9-0).
Before getting to the heart of the matter with big passes on the horizon, Paris Saint-Germain had to confirm its ramp-up with the traditional round of 32 finals of the Coupe de France. Four days after winning the 12th Champions Trophy in its history, the capital club found a team from the southwest, the modest formation of Revel, playing in Regional 1, the equivalent of the 6th French division.
The poster obviously had something folkloric, in a period where the charm of a haircut can be eclipsed by the reality of serious things. This match seemed like a formality for the Parisian ogre, on paper, at least, but it’s always the same music. Luis Enrique’s men should not have taken him over the leg to avoid a trap, especially since this Paris team seems driven by a vindictive feeling, to no longer abuse the oldest competition after two years without success .
Paris recited her scales
The PSG coach had carried out a significant rotation by putting together a mixed eleven. All eyes were on Kylian Mbappé. The PSG scorer was well aligned from the start to lead an eleven team where winter reinforcement Beraldo started for the first time in his new colors. Keylor Navas found his place in the Parisian goals, while Cher Ndour was aligned in the middle.
After a quarter of an hour of resisting the Parisian waves, the valiant newly promoted conceded a first goal on a cross shot from Mbappé (0-1, 16th). The French champions played in a good-natured atmosphere, doubling the lead with an own goal from N’guessan (0-2, 38th). Asensio then took care of his statistics by registering the third Parisian pawn (0-3, 43rd), before turning into the passer of a sublime pigeon wing for a still not satisfied Mbappé (0-4, 45th).
Curiously, Revel will be able to come out with his head held high – despite the magnitude of the score – because the fans proposed some courageous, even frankly daring, sequences, such as high pressing phases or long shots to try to lob a Keylor Navas who was lacking his bearings. . But the matter was resolved very quickly by the Parisians, who added to the bill after half-time.
A second act symbolized by the attitude of Mbappé, in distributor captain mode after the hat-trick goal upon returning from the locker room (0-5, 48th). The world champion, who finished the match alongside his brother Ethan, let Gonçalo Ramos take a penalty that the Portuguese had caused (0-6, 71st), before disappearing with a beautiful feint to restart a Kolo Muani previously borrowed (0-7, 76th). After a final service from the same Mbappé for Ndour, author of his first goal in the Parisian jersey (0-8, 87th), Kolo Muani closed the festival (0-9, 90th). A job well done on an evening without boo-boo and without a hitch.
