Team now awaits the winner of Rumilly Vallières and Monaco, who play today
It was more difficult than many imagined. Playing Stade de la Monsson in Montpellier, PSG managed to qualify on penalties (6 to 5) after a 2-2 draw in normal time. Without Neymar and Di María, who started the game on the bench, it was Mbappé, coming back from injury, to take the lead. The team’s two goals were his. Laborde and Delort scored for the hosts. In penalties, ten penalties were converted in a row until Sambia squandered for Montpellier. Moise Kean was responsible for the collection that defined the classification of PSG.
Now the Paris team awaits the winner of Rumilly Vallières and Monaco, who play at 16:15 (GMT), at the Parc des Sports d’Annecy. The team of Rumilly Vallieres is currently competing in the fourth division of the French Championship. It is the 11th place with 10 points, totaling 2 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses. If they win this Thursday’s game, the team will make history by arriving for the first time in the decision of the national tournament.
Meanwhile, veteran Monaco enters the field looking for the sixth French Cup. The team is the current third place in the French Championship, with 74 points. Thus, he continues fighting for the leadership of the competition with PSG and Lille, although the advantage for the leader Lille is five points with two rounds to go before the championship ends. Throughout the season, he won 23 games, drew 5 and lost 8.
