This match against Brest was a trap match for PSG. And he was until the end for the capital club. Annoyed and pushed to their limits by Éric Roy’s men, Kylian Mbappé’s teammates found themselves at 2-2 five minutes from time after having led by two goals thanks in particular to a gem from Warren Zaire-Emery.
Moment chosen by Randal Kolo Muani to push the Brest defense into error. Launched into the area by a backheel from Mbappé, the former Frankfurt striker found himself on the ground after contact with Lilian Brassier who seemed very contentious. The referee of the match Jérôme Brisard did not flinch before being called to order by his video assistants at the end of the action.

If the fault seemed clear and clear – even if Eric Roy was not of this insistent opinion that it “would not have been whistled in the other direction” – this suspenseful end of the match had the gift of raising the temperature between the two teams. While Kylian Mbappé was preparing to take his shot on goal, several Brest residents began to trample the penalty point to hinder the Parisian number 7. A technique which had the gift of annoying the Parisians, which gave rise to a small scuffle between the players. Jonas Martin, for a hand to the face close to Mbappé’s throat, was not far from exclusion. In total, the referee issued five yellow cards for Hakimi and Ruiz on the Parisian side, and for Brestois Bizot, Martin and Brassier for his fault.
The matter does not end there. On his penalty taken too weakly, the top scorer in Ligue 1 needed to recover against Bizot to score in the empty goal, in two stages, with a flat foot and offer victory to the Parisians (3-2) . Mbappé then had the bad idea of calming down the Francis-Le Blé stadium a little by asking the opposing supporters to calm down. A chambering also punished with a yellow card by Jérôme Brisard. The Brest enclosure then erupted with several insulting and homophobic chants aimed at PSG and the referee.
“I don’t like that sort of thing. I don’t know what exactly happened with Mbappé. I prefer when we talk about positive things,” regretted Luis Enrique on Prime Video. “It’s a bit ridiculous. I’m not going to mention any names, but some Parisians don’t need to add any more. When you’re a top player, it’s normal to get heckled outside. There are things you shouldn’t do at this level. In many stadiums, it could have degenerated,” added Eric Roy.
On the pitch, we weren’t very far from the rugby match in the final minutes of added time. Randal Kolo Muani also received a warning for a frustration foul on Bradley Locko. But the main thing is elsewhere for PSG who take the three points thanks to this converted penalty, and return to a small unit from Nice at the top of Ligue 1.
