Revel-Paris SG 0-9 Paris SG: Mbappé (16th, 45th, 48th), N’Guessan (38th, CSC), Asensio (45th), Ramos (71st sp), Kolo-Muani (76th, 90th), Ndour ( 87th)
Unsurprisingly, PSG grabbed the last available ticket for the round of 16 of the Coupe du France. Opposed to the amateur club of Revel (R1) at the conclusion of the 32nd finals, the club from the capital logically enforced the hierarchy, winning with a clear score of 0-9. The step was much too high for the USR.
The usual home of Castres Olympique, the Stade Pierre-Fabre hoped to witness an authentic feat this Sunday evening. But the dream did not last long. The fault lies with a serious and diligent PSG, despite the large squad review carried out by Luis Enrique. The Spanish technician nevertheless decided to rely on Mbappé, promoted to captain. And author of a double (0-1, 16th and 0-4, 45th) during a first period which saw the USR quickly sink on a physical level. Bold at the start of the match, Nicolas Giné’s men then suffered repeated attacks from a merciless PSG. N’Guessan’s CSC (2-0, 38th) and Asensio’s fine goal (3-0, 43rd) definitely killed the suspense of this match of extremes.
“We have to play hard, as if it were a Ligue 1 match. It’s up to us to continue to score, that’s how we respect the opponent,” proclaimed Mukiele at the break at the microphone of BeIn Sport . And to illustrate the speech of its very active side on the right, PSG did not stop in the second period. At the end of a great collective action, Mbappé quietly scored his third goal of the evening (0-5, 48th). Becoming the top scorer in the history of the capital club in the Coupe de France (30 goals).
Little seen in the shadow of their captain, or a very present Asensio, Ramos and Kolo Muani were finally able to participate in their team’s festival. The Portuguese striker converted a penalty which he obtained (0-6, 71st) while the French international, ghostly until then, came out of his torpor by scoring a double at the end of the match (0-7, 76th and 0-9, 90th). Big winner, also thanks to a powerful goal from Ndour in the last minutes (0-8, 87th), PSG did the job, even if very few lessons can be learned from this prolific evening. The Parisians will know this Monday the name of their next opponent in the round of 16. The proposed adversity will most certainly be tougher.
