PSG qualified yesterday, not easily, against Brest (3-1) for the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France. A match marked by a great performance from Kylian Mbappé, but also by the red card from Lilian Brassier (24 years old). The Brest defender, overtaken by the captain of the France team, sends him a sole pressing on the back of the ankle. The images are striking with Kylian Mbappé’s ankle well squared and the fear of an injury. More fear than harm, the Parisian striker got up and finished the match, even if examinations will be carried out today. Parisian supporters were scared a week before the Champions League match. Eric Roy, Brest coach, wanted to defend his player in a post-match press conference.
“I don’t think there will be any bloodshed tonight. Unfortunately, he thinks he has the ball, but it’s going too quickly… He lacked discernment because he shouldn’t commit. He already had a card and had made a mistake five minutes before which was already tendentious. I’m not going to blame him either because it goes so quickly. Misjudgments… you think you have the ball, but you don’t. Lilian, I know him, he’s not a bad boy. There was no desire to cause harm at all. (…) He is learning, he remains a young central defender with a lot of future and qualities but he continues to learn in every match” he declared at the end of the match to the media.
