This is one of the great stories of this Revel-PSG. In addition to this relocated match in the good atmosphere of Castres, the offensive festival of the Parisians, the masterful collective action of the fourth goal, the delicious exchange between coaches Luis Enrique and Nicolas Giné… Maxime Zahil, number 10 of the US Revel, too, had the right to his little moment of happiness.
The Revel midfielder, who faced Kylian Mbappé three times during his younger years, was able to recover the Parisian star’s jersey. “I had already talked about it. Our paths had already crossed. At halftime, we talked about it a little. He gave it to me on his own. I found this gesture very nice and very classy,” he told BeIN Sports.
The vice-captain of US Revel had even warned his teammates of his experience during his previous confrontations. “It was already going very, very quickly. It was explosive. Precisely, I had played on his side to defend a little more on him,” he said at a press conference. Advice which was obviously not enough since the number 7 of PSG scored a hat-trick, including a headed goal from a pigeon wing cross from Marco Asensio.
But the main thing was elsewhere for the Haut-Garonnais. “It was the match of a lifetime. The result is anecdotal. For three weeks, we experienced something crazy. The most important thing is that we left a good image for all of France because that’s the magic of the Coupe de France. We savor these last moments and, afterward, it’s back to reality in the championship,” regrets Maxime Zahil. The end of an enchanted parenthesis.
