LIVE – Pays de Cassel-PSG: hat-trick before half-time for Mbappé, Neymar also on target
Neymar missed a big chance
Launched brilliantly in the penalty area by Mbappé, Soler tucked in a powerful cross at the far post for Neymar to send the ball into the stands! In his defense, there was a small bounce before his shot.
MBAPPÉ’S PERFECT LOB!
3-0 to PSG with two goals from Mbappé! Danilo’s opening for Mbappé who completed an amazing lob job on Samson!
BUUUT NEYMAR!
Paris escaped the score within minutes with a one-two on all the beauties! Neymar chained hooks and feints and finished the job with his left foot, 2-0!
Neymar missed the target
Neymar was about to take a free kick at the entrance of the area but his shot was way over the top! He was booed by the crowd!
Yellow card for Brunel
Neymar fought back and entered the penalty area but he was stopped just before that by a tackle from Bruneel! Yellow card !
BUUUUUT OF MBAPPÉ!
It’s been a good time for PSG and it takes a dazzling Nuno Mendes! The Portuguese overtook two players and served the flat-footed Mbappé. It was countered and the trajectory tricked Samson! 1 to 0!
Neymar lost his nerve
To recover the ball, Neymar pushed the referee and put his hand on the head of the player from AS Pays de Cassel!
At the back, he returned the thread and picked up a yellow card!
Neymar is getting treatment
Struck in the right knee, Neymar was treated and tested above all… The doctors looked worried but the Brazilian replaced him.
US Pays de Cassel raises its goals
What a confident recovery from Pays de Cassel that started in the goal and ended in the opposition half! The public loves it!
Brunel remained on the ground
After the midair duel, Bruneel stayed on the ground looking stunned and touched his back. He wakes up slowly!
Soler missed the move
The ball was played back badly by the Hauts-de-France club’s defense and Soler could have capitalized on it. He tried to give Neymar a touch but it was too strong!
Mbappé is too short!
This time, Nuno Mendes took his path and crossed for the spot but Mbappé was too far in front and didn’t have the ball!
Mbappé is offside despite the goal
Found in the box but back to goal, Kylian Mbappé turned around and tricked Samson! The striker is in an offside position!
Parisians are faster
We feel the PSG players move faster than the Kassel players. Pembélé often takes his path, unlike Mendes.
Sané awakens the crowd
The first ball was for Keba Sané who tried to dribble Kimpembe with a rake but he was sent into the background. Not wrong!
Paris chained its centers
PSG already knows strong ball possession with 2-3 crosses that the Pays de Cassel defense replies!

How Christophe Galtier remobilized his troops before the Coupe de France
Since the end of the World Cup, Paris Saint-Germain have suffered their first two league defeats. Any time outside against Lens then reindeer. On the pitch some players don’t give the feeling of having done everything to make things better and go beyond results, this is partly what annoyed the staff.
Without declaring a state of emergency, Christophe Galtier delivered the message to his players as he confided in the press conference. Especially during individual interviews. Last Saturday, in front of his group, in the dressing room of the training center, the 2021 French champion wanted to mobilize everyone.
He specifically pointed to the insufficient investment of his players since the world’s return. Necessary speech as PSG seem to be able to do much better. The lack of racing, technical flaws and lack of commitment is glaring against Rennes for example.
Neymar feels targeted
However, among some locker room execs, it goes without saying that Paris could make a better copy and awareness has come after two setbacks away from Taman. The next few weeks will allow us to measure it. Others, like Neymar feels targeted by what they might perceive as reproach. The Brazilian knows he is highly expected.
Christophe Galtier announced at a press conference that he aims to field the best team this Monday night in the last 16 against amateur Pays de Cassel. It has to happen with a few exceptions. Lionel Messi resting Hugo Ekitike should start with Kylian Mbappé and Neymar. In defense Nuno Mendes could return to 11. Marquinhos should be linked with Sergio Ramos. Once again the highly permeable world champion’s defense will be heavily watched. Christophe Galtier hopes to bring competition back to the weakened sector. Presnel Kimpembe should be back in collective session “in 8 or 10 days” according to the former technician from Saint-Etienne. The French defender is optimistic that he even hopes to enter the group that will face Bayern Munich on February 14.
