Ligue 1 giants Paris Saint-Germain in the winter transfer market opened, once again caught in the cloud of contract renewal with the leading striker Mbappe, although this has a certain impact on the team's cohesion, but I have to say that the strength of Paris, enough for them to go sideways in the domestic arena, after four consecutive wins in all competitions, Paris firmly occupies the position of the league leader, 1/ of the French Cup/ The 32nd final also defeated the lower-level team with a disparity of 9-0 to advance, this match day, Grand Paris ushered in the French Cup 1/16 finals, and went to challenge the French C team Orleans away, the value of the opponent's players can not be compared with Mbappe, which shows how obvious the difference in strength between the two sides is, which is why fans think that Paris will win a big score again before the game! In this game, Mbappe once again became the savior of the team, relying on his performance of 2 shots and 2 passes, and 4 goals, Grand Paris defeated Orleans 4-1 away!
Despite the lack of strength of the opponents, Enrique did not underestimate the opponent in the slightest, and still sent an almost full squad in the game, in a 3-4-1-2 system, Navas started the game and guarded the goal, Marquinhos, Pereira and Berardo were the three in the back, Soler, Vitinha, Fabian and Muani formed the four midfield, Asensio appeared in the single midfield position, and the double arrows in the front line were Mbappe and Gonzalo Ramos.
After the start of the game, Grand Paris completely suppressed Orleans away from home, and launched a tidal wave of attacks towards the opponent's goal, in the 7th minute, Asensio took a free kick in front of the goal, straight to the corner of the goal, but the home goalkeeper flew away at the first time and saved the ball from the bottom line.
In the 16th minute, Grand Paris continued to shoot in the Orleans penalty area, Mbappe tore open Orleans' goal with a crotch after receiving a cross from his teammates, helping Grand Paris to take an early 1-0 lead, and the lagging Orleans then significantly strengthened their attack, and in the 30th and 35th minutes, they completed high-quality long-range shots outside the penalty area in a row, but they did not pose much threat to Navas.
Before half-time, Grand Paris got a corner kick on the right side, although the first point was cleared by the Orleans defender, but the ball was not far away, and Asensio near the top arc took advantage of the situation to complete a bounce, but unfortunately the ball grazed the post and went out of the bottom line.
After the start of the second half, Grand Paris continued to attack around Orleans, and extended the lead in the 63rd minute, Mbappe took the ball on the left side and crossed, causing a handball in the Solvet penalty area, and the referee also decisively gave Grand Paris a penalty, Mbappe personally hit it, and the score also came to 2-0.
In the 72nd minute, Paris broke through the door of the home team again, Soler made a long pass from the backfield, accurately found Mbappe, and after the attention of the entire backfield of Orleans on the left side, Mbappe swept the ball to the goal, and Ramos, who quickly inserted on the right side, scored with a header to rewrite the score to 3-0.
At the last moment of the game, Orleans took advantage of the corner kick opportunity and scored a face-saving goal to chase the score to 1-3, but the counterattack of Grand Paris also came very quickly, Mbappe divided the ball in the penalty area, assisted the teenager Ma Yulu to score, and fixed the score of the whole game to 4-1!
After an easy away win, Grand Paris broke into the round of 16 with its head held high, and still retained the hope of hitting the championship in Ligue 1, French Cup and Champions League, but Enrique wants to lead the team, and it is very difficult to win the championship in these three events, especially in the Champions League, the performance of Grand Paris in the group stage makes fans see no hope of reaching the top!
