Messi was absent for the match against Vannes on Monday night (4-0) in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France, as was Neymar, injured, who will not return from Brazil until Sunday. In the absence of the two South American stars, it was Kylian Mbappé who had distinguished himself by scoring a hat-trick. With Di Maria and Draxler on the flank and more, PSG should once again rely on the French international to hope to win against OL on Sunday.
