Football is the opposite of fairy tales: when the ogre devours Tom Thumb, the story is beautiful. Paris perfectly respected Revel, who plays six divisions below, by rolling over him and scoring nine goals. In this match where PSG left nothing behind, except a slew of souvenir jerseys and dozens of selfies in the locker room. And he will be present in the draw for the round of 16 which will be made this Monday evening. Paris just pretended to tremble for fifteen minutes. But, even with a lot of starters, he had nothing to fear.
Revel could not have had success in the draw and also require Luis Enrique to line up all his frames. The Spanish coach had logically not drawn the big team. The one that is supposed to drive on the Champions League highway, not on the RD 622 which crosses the small Haut-Garonne town. If the king cake appeared a bit less crunchy, PSG had still slipped in the prettiest bean of its squad. And she could, single-handedly, break all the teeth in Revel. Because Kylian Mbappé was present at the kick-off in Castres. Which was more than enough to keep the young audience happy and well worth sacrificing a few hours of sleep before school started on Monday. If Revel’s children yawn in class, they will just have to say that it’s Kylian’s fault. Teachers will understand.
Mbappé offers a penalty to Ramos
The PSG captain, with his hypercollective behavior, was, as usual, responsible for reminding everyone of the sense of reality. Despite the pitch being massacred by the crampons of the Top 14 rugby players, Mbappé took care of everything to put on a show. An opening score after 16 minutes, a few chances harvested with a smile that we no longer knew he had but above all a decisive header (45th) to thank Asensio with a huge gesture: a decisive pass in the shape of a wing pigeon.
It was then the fourth Parisian goal since in the meantime, N’Guessan against his camp and Asensio had also scored. After the break, all that was needed was to know the exact dimensions of the bag of goals that PSG were going to leave behind. A new goal from Mbappé, a penalty from Ramos (offered by Mbappé), two goals from Kolo Muani which will not erase the mediocrity of his match, a powerful strike from Ndour and that makes nine.
Obviously, this Sunday walk does not bring any serious lessons: we do not build any predictions on this kind of cardboard. The improbable defensive trio Mukiele-Ugarte-Beraldo had, for example, as much chance, against the Revelois amateurs, of serving as an umbrella in the middle of the desert. Despite the opposing weakness, Mbappé offered the public what they expected: a memory for life. Moreover, as an upcoming government reshuffle is announced, we are almost surprised that his name has not been whispered for Matignon. We joke of course: France and the Coupe de France have been too small for him for a long time.
