DIRECT. Espaly-PSG: jostled by a National 3, Paris qualifies with pain in the Coupe de France

Bradley Barcola's reaction to BeIn Sports: “We started badly, we were surprised. We made up for it by hitting the gas at the end of the match. We will only remember the victory. We pushed until the end and in the end we are rewarded. It was perhaps the wrong formula at the start, it's the coach who decides. In the end it was the right option, we qualified. »

It's over at Marcel-Michelin. Paris Saint-Germain won (4-2) against the Espaly amateurs but it was tough for Luis Enrique's men.

The Parisians will still be there in the round of 16 of the Coupe de France.
