Whoever looked at PSG’s starting lineup in the French Cup probably thought that Luis Enrique’s squad was playing a strong opponent from maybe League 2, but no. The Parisians were travelling to Revel to place against sixth-tier amateurs and still fielded Kylian Mbappe, Marco Asensio, Kolo Muani and Goncalo Ramos. And the result was expected – a 9:0 rout over the unfortunate amateurs. PSG are hungry to add to their cup tally after missing out on the title in the past two seasons. PSG were knocked out by Nice in 2022 and last season by Marseille, who also progressed from the round of 64 with a narrow win at Thionville, the hosts four leagues below the south coast giants – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s 62nd minute shot making the difference.What a goal 😮💨🔥Asensio assist —> Mbappe goal pic.twitter.com/5IDS86KpN8— +UTD|RM® (@UTDxRM) January 7, 2024 Kylian Mbappe helped record 14-time champions Paris Saint-Germain avoid an embarrassing slip-up with a 9-0 rout at sixth-tier amateurs Revel in the French Cup on Sunday. Revel’s young supporters had implored Mbappe to make the trip to the game played at Castres – Revel’s humble stadium only has capacity for 2,000 fans in the Haute-Garonne south-western region – in a video posted on social media. And they got their wish with the 25-year-old star included in manager Luis Enrique’s strong travelling party to the leaders of Regional 1, five rungs below the capital giants in the French league ladder. Mbappe evidently enjoyed his night out in the town near Toulouse, scoring a hat-trick. Revel defender Maxence N’Guesson did get on the score sheet but sadly for an own goal as the first half drew to a close. Kolo Muani played from the first minute and had a brace, while Ndour and Asensio also found themselves on the score sheet.🚨 Kolo Muani goal: Revel 0 PSG 9 pic.twitter.com/QqG6JMJx8N— Christian2002 (@Christian126829) January 7, 2024
