Round of 16: PSG – Brest summary
. – (.)
The capital club logically passed the hurdle of the round of 16 on Wednesday, after two consecutive failures at this stage of the competition.
A first since 2021. PSG will play in the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France. Luis Enrique’s players dominated Stade Brestois (3-1), Wednesday February 7, in their Parc des Princes. The victory quickly took shape, but a slight doubt set in in the second period. After the goals from Kylian Mbappé and Danilo Pereira, scored in quick succession (34th and 37th), Brest reduced the gap through Steve Mounié (65th) and for a time maintained the hope of a comeback.
But the expulsion of Lilian Brassier (69th), after two yellow cards and a dangerous sole on the ankle of Kylian Mbappé, buried him immediately. One week before the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League against Real Sociedad, the images of the Parisian star lying on the ground, then limping once standing, sent shivers through the spectators at the Parisian venue. But Mbappé never headed to the sidelines. He finished the match and even participated in the construction of the third and final Parisian goal, signed by Gonçalo Ramos (90th + 2).
