It would have been impossible, on paper, to achieve a more unbalanced round of 32 than the one awaiting Paris Saint-Germain this Wednesday (9 p.m.) in the Coupe de France. Title holders, the Ligue 1 leader faces Espaly, a club from Haute-Loire and resident of National 3, in a match relocated to the Marcel-Michelin stadium in Clermont-Ferrand. The little thumb of the competition, winner of Dijon in the previous round, is preparing to experience a dream evening.
The players were not mistaken, exploding with joy at the end of December when the draw placed them against PSG. On the Parisian side, after the victory against Saint-Étienne (2-1) in the league on Sunday, the match could be an opportunity to carry out a squad review, before recording the potential arrival of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, who seems to want from Naples.
The round of 16 of the Coupe de France between Espaly and Paris Saint-Germain will be followed this Wednesday, January 15, from 9 p.m., on BeIN Sports 1.
