Paris Saint-Germain hosted Paris FC at the Parc des Princes on Monday evening for the Round of 32 of the Coupe de France. Despite being the defending champions, the Rouge et Bleu struggled against a deep and compact defensive block throughout the match. Lacking answers, Luis Enrique’s men even conceded a goal late in the second half to make it 1-0. Against all odds, PFC emerged victorious and eliminated PSG. Jonathan Ikoné, who scored tonight, spoke to France 3 about this feat against his former club:
Ikoné: “I scored where I was developed. I’m overjoyed.”
A big win for PFC?
Yes, frankly, we’re very happy because we defended well. They’re one of the biggest teams in Europe, we’re happy to leave with the victory, and we hope it will give us a boost in the league.
What does it feel like as a Paris Saint-Germain youth player?
I’m so happy with my goal. I scored where I was developed. I’m just so happy, so pleased. I hope it’s not my last, that I’ll keep going like this and keep moving forward.
