Zapping Foot National Top 10: Ligue 1 top scorers in activity
It’s a remake that the Coupe de France offers us this Wednesday evening. At 9:05 p.m., Paris Saint-Germain actually moved onto the lawn of SM Caen (L2), just as it had done on April 18, 2018. But this time, it was at the semi-finals stage. And since then, a lot has changed. On one side, as on the other. Future winner of the competition against the amazing players of Les Herbiers (National), PSG had won in pain to Michel d’Ornano. If Kylian Mbappé had opened the scoring before the half hour mark (25th), the Caennais Ismaël Diomandé had answered just before the break (44th, 1-1). This same Ismaël Diomandé expelled at the very end of the game (90th), a few minutes after the double of the one who will be crowned world champion a few months later (81st), and just before Christopher Nkunku completes the Parisian success (90 + 5 , 1-3).
Upset workforce
Like many, Christopher Nkunku will not be present in Normandy this Wednesday evening. In the starting eleven aligned at the time by … Unai Emery, only Marquinhos, Julian Draxler, Kylian Mbappé and Angel Di Maria are still present at the club. But the injured Argentine is strong for this meeting. If the workforce has also moved for SM Caen, trained in 2018 by Patric Garande today in Toulouse, the big difference is that the Norman club was playing at that time … in Ligue 1, and not in Ligue 2 like today. The Caen, semi-finalist of the Coupe de France, had managed to stay in the top flight (16th) during this 2017/2018 season, with also the luxury of keeping PSG in check in the league during the return match a few more weeks late, still in D’Ornano (0-0). It is undoubtedly this goalless draw that Pascal Dupraz’s men will have to draw inspiration from tonight. Such a score at the end of the regulatory 90 minutes would also be synonymous with a penalty shootout …
