Paris held its breath, but Paris slipped into the 16th. Hanging in regulation time by RC Lens this Sunday, in the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France, the Parisians finally relied on their Russian goalkeeper, Matvey Safonov, author of two saves during the penalty shootout ( 1-1, 3-5 tab). After the meeting, Nuno Mendes expressed his joy, but still restrained, at the microphone of BeIN Sports. He notably admitted that his team would have imagined winning sooner.
“ We are very happy with this victory, but it is not the match we wanted to play, we were 1-1 in the 90 minutes, even if we took the penalties wellunderlined the Portuguese. It was complicated, Lens is a good team, the pitch was also difficult, but we managed to come away with the victory, that’s the most important thing. Now, we will rest and come back for 2025. The opponent (Espaly, an N3 team)? It’s a Cup match and anything can happen. You will have to be focused and give everything. »
