BREAKING: PSG KNOCKED OUT OF COUPE DE FRANCE AFTER HISTORIC PARIS FC DEFEAT
Historic upset! Paris FC eliminates PSG from the Coupe de France as Jonathan Ikoné scores the winner against his former club.
For the second time in just over a week, Paris Saint-Germain find themselves up against city rivals Paris FC at the Parc des Princes. This time, it’s do-or-die in the Coupe de France Round of 32. PSG edged the last meeting 2-1, with Luis Enrique’s side just about holding on for the win.
Not long before this, PSG lifted their first trophy of the year, beating Marseille in a tense penalty shootout to claim the Trophée des Champions.
But Luis Enrique’s got his hands full tonight. He’s missing six players and brought a 19-man squad. Achraf Hakimi and Ibrahim Mbaye are both away at AFCON. Safonov, Kang-In Lee, and Quentin Ndjantou are all sidelined with injuries. Lucas Hernandez is out sick.
The Spanish coach shuffled his lineup, putting Lucas Beraldo in at left-back, with Ramos, Barcola, and Kvaratskhelia leading the attack.
Things didn’t go to plan for PSG. Even though they took charge early, they couldn’t create anything clear-cut. Paris FC looked dangerous on the counter. Ramos had the best chance for PSG, but Nkambadio rushed out and stopped him. Barcola tried his luck from a distance, and the ball sailed just wide.
Right before halftime, Kvaratskhelia nearly broke through, only for Nkambadio to come up big again. PSG controlled the ball but couldn’t turn it into a goal, while Paris FC kept threatening on the break.
After the break, PSG turned up the heat with several big chances, but Paris FC’s defence hung on—barely. Nkambadio kept making saves. Nuno Mendes came off the bench and played a perfect pass to Barcola, who found himself one-on-one with the keeper but couldn’t hit the target.
Then came the sucker punch. Against the run of play, former PSG man Jonathan Ikoné scored in the 74th minute. PSG threw everything forward in the final minutes, creating chance after chance, but Paris FC dug in and held on. They knocked PSG out of the Coupe de France.
Now, PSG has to regroup. Next up, they host Lille in Ligue 1, then it’s off to Portugal to play Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League, where they need a win to secure a top-eight spot.
Here’s PSG’s starting XI: Chevalier, Zabarnyi, Pacho, Lucas Beraldo, Warren Zaire-Emery, Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Mayulu, Kvaratskhelia, Ramos, and Barcola.
And for Paris FC: Nkambadio; Kolo, Mbow, Otavio, Ollila, Sangui; Lopez, Camara, Gory, Cafaro, Guebbels.
INJURY MYSTERY: INSIDE THE RECURRING CALF ISSUES THREATENING OUSMANE DEMBéLé’S ELITE CAREER
Ousmane Dembélé’s season is in doubt after a calf injury vs Monaco. Discover how Désiré Doué saved PSG with a stunning 3-2 brace.
Ousmane Dembélé’s season keeps getting rough. On Tuesday, he limped off in the first half against Monaco, adding another injury to his already frustrating year with Paris Saint-Germain.
Désiré Doué stepped in for Dembélé and immediately made things happen. He scored twice, helped set up the other goal, and suddenly PSG found themselves heading back to Paris with a 3-2 lead for next Wednesday’s return leg.
Dembélé, already dealing with a leg problem, lasted just 26 minutes at Stade Louis II. The Ballon d'Or winner has basically been fighting injuries all season. Not long before he walked off, cameras caught him rubbing the back of his left calf, then rolling down his sock. He didn’t look comfortable at all.
Coach Luis Enrique insisted he didn’t take any risks starting Dembélé. “We know how each player’s feeling. No risk, he trained like normal,” Enrique said. “We’ll see if there’s really an injury. He took a knock early, then couldn’t keep running.”
PSG actually trailed 2-0 when Dembélé left, but Doué helped turn things around by halftime.
Injuries have haunted Dembélé for a while. He went out early in the season playing for France, then had to leave the pitch early against Bayern Munich back in November. Even in Barcelona, injuries continued to get in the way.
Doué wasted no time after coming on. Two minutes later, he fired a low shot into the bottom right corner to get PSG back in it. When he celebrated, he cupped his hands over his ears, like he was tuning out all the recent criticism.
“The coach makes his choices. It’s always a team effort, win or lose,” Doué said. “The most important thing is just to win games like this.”
Before the match, Luis Enrique had actually criticised some of his star players after PSG dropped out of first place in Ligue 1 with a loss to Rennes.
Just before halftime, Doué played a big part in PSG’s equaliser. His shot was pushed away by Monaco’s keeper Philipp Köhn, but the ball bounced right to Achraf Hakimi in the box. Hakimi buried it in the bottom left corner.
Then, in the 67th minute, Doué got his second. Warren Zaïre-Emery found him at the edge of the box, and Doué slipped another low shot into the right corner.
Earlier, Köhn had kept out Vitinha’s penalty in the 22nd minute. Monaco’s Aleksandr Golovin didn’t help his team’s cause, getting sent off early for a clumsy foul on Vitinha. So, PSG’s comeback had plenty of drama and a lot of Doué.
COACHLESS AND CLINICAL: HOW RENNES SHOCKED THE WORLD TO DISMANTLE PSG’S LIGUE 1 LEAD
Rennes shock PSG with a 3-1 victory! Read how Mousa Al-Tamari and Breel Embolo ended Paris's win streak and opened the title race.
Four days after sacking coach Habib Beye, Rennes pulled off a shocker. They took down Paris Saint-Germain 3-1, snapping PSG’s seven-game winning streak in Ligue 1. Now, second-placed Lens has a real shot at jumping past PSG and grabbing the top spot if they beat Paris FC in the capital on Saturday.
PSG actually started strong. Ousmane Dembele and Desire Doue both found some space early on, but nothing came of it.
After Beye got the boot on Monday, Rennes promoted his assistant, Sebastien Tambouret. Suddenly, the squad that had lost four matches in a row looked like a different team.
Mousa Al-Tamari, their Jordanian forward, opened the scoring in the 34th minute with a rocket into the bottom corner.
In the 69th minute, Esteban Lepaul headed in a second goal from a corner. Just two minutes later, Dembele pulled one back for PSG, finishing off a deflected cross.
Luis Enrique responded by swapping out Doue and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for Bradley Barcola and Lee Kang-in, probably thinking ahead to PSG’s Champions League play-off at Monaco this week.
But Rennes weren’t done. Breel Embolo, coming off the bench, smashed in a third goal with nine minutes left. That sealed the win and pushed Rennes up to fifth place.
Dembele, who’s now scored seven times in his last ten games, didn’t sugarcoat things. “We need to win these kinds of matches. We need to play as a team, not as individuals,” he said. “We have to show more desire. If we just play for ourselves, we won’t win the titles we want.”
He also gave credit to Rennes, where he broke through as a young player. “Rennes played a really good match,” he admitted.
Luis Enrique picked Matvei Safonov over Lucas Chevalier in goal, but Safonov couldn’t see Al-Tamari’s opener. At the back, Willian Pacho didn’t put up a fight, and Illia Zabarnyi looked slow on the other two goals.
Meanwhile, PSG’s Champions League rivals Monaco host Nantes in Friday’s late game.
