Winner of the Stade Brestois at the first leg (3-0), Paris Saint-Germain received the Bretons in the return match with the virtual analization of being already qualified for the knockout stages (opposite FC Barcelona or Liverpool). However, Luis Enrique did not take the Ti Zefs lightly since the Spaniard aligned his team (almost type), with a trio of attack Dembélé-Kvaratskhelia-Barcola. In the middle, Fabian Ruiz, decisive against Toulouse, was preferred to Désiré Doué to compensate for the absence of Warren Zaïre-Emery. On the Brestois side, Éric Roy had decided to make several changes, notably noting Bizot, Ajorque, Camara and Magnetti on the bench.
Ruthless Paris
Unlike the outward journey, the SB29 did not start the game by playing grouped together in its half of the field, which logically gave an open match from the first seconds. Opposite, the Parisians started with an attack where Kvaratskhelia evolved to the right, unmoved in new and Barcola on the right. The latter lit the first wicks with drafts (6th, 11th), but it was Brest that was offered the most beautiful action of this start of the meeting, when Marquinhos saved a cross shot from Pereira Lage (13th) on his line (13th) on his line (13th) . What to hope to hope for a little start of suspense? Not really. Over the minutes, Luis Enrique's men have imposed their rhythm, confiscated the leather and above all run the Bretons a lot.
Faced with this domination, Paris logically obtained a series of opportunities (17th, 19th) before being precisely rewarded by opening the scoring in the 20th minute. Perfectly launched in depth by Fabian Ruiz, Barcola went to enroll Zogbé before crucifying Coudert (1-0, 20th). The hopes of Rontada were done for the most optimistic Brestois. Especially since PSG, unlike in recent years, has not released its embrace. Paris dominated and did not intend to leave a moment of revolt at SB29. Smoked by an omnipresent counter-pressing, Roy's men were reduced to the role of simple suffering spectators. Proof that mentalities have changed in the red and blue: Paris continued to push and Kvaratskhelia was snatched to score the goal of 2-0 in an impossible angle (2-0, 39th). João Neves could have borsed the note, but the transversal of Coudert decided otherwise (45th).
7-0, 7 different scorers
Upon returning from the locker room, the same scenario in the start of the first period. After the double action harvested by Ruiz (47th, 48th), it was still Brest who thought it was scoring. First of all on a strike from Pierre Lees-Melou repelled by the left post of Donnarumma (57th). Then, on the corner which followed, on a goldfish head stopped by the Italian porter (57th). Brest has allowed his chance to save the honor. Because the Parisian response was more than scathing. Vitinha scored the goal of 3-0 with a distant rolled strike (59th), before the paid coaching of Luis Enrique. At the time of play, the Spaniard was able to afford to go out of Dembélé, Ruiz and Barcola to bring Lee, gifted and Ramos. Four minutes later, Ramos served gifted for 4-0 (64th). The Frenchman returned Portuguese politeness to the 76th for the 6-0, five minutes after the fifth Parisian goal signed Mendes (69th).
Reduced in porridge, the SB29 still thought it had managed to save the honor, but Sima's goal was canceled for a tiny offside (77th). Conversely, the Ile-de-France replacements continued to shine and it was Mayulu, shifted by Kvaratskhelia, who found the fault (7-0, 86th). Tonight, the gods were definitely not on the Breton side and Brest did not deserve such humiliation for the end of his beautiful European adventure. Impressive in recent weeks, PSG has continued to confirm its very great shape and this 7-0 success (10-0 cumulative) with seven different scorers reflects everything Luis Enrique wanted. Namely a team that is no longer dependent on exploits of a single element, where all players can score. It remains to be seen who from Liverpool or FC Barcelona will stand on the Route des Champions de France in title during the knockout stages.
