Brest, who secured a draw at Parc des Princes earlier in the Ligue 1 season, nearly broke the deadlock when Martin Satriano struck the post with a superbly curved shot after 30 minutes. However, PSG seized control thereafter, with Mbappe breaking the deadlock with a powerful shot from a difficult angle.
Shortly after, Danilo Pereira extended PSG’s lead. Despite Brest pulling one back in the second half through Steve Mounie after a well-executed counter-attack, their hopes of a comeback were dashed by a reckless red card for centre-back Lilian Brassier.
Goncalo Ramos then secured PSG’s victory with a third goal in second-half stoppage-time, sealing their spot in the quarter-finals.
Mbappe’s influence was unmistakable. Despite previously showing limited progress under Christophe Galtier, Mbappe has flourished under Luis Enrique. He played a pivotal role against Brest, not only scoring the opening goal brilliantly but also contributing with diligent pressing and creating chances for his teammates.
While Mbappe’s future at PSG remains uncertain, performances like this offer Parisians hope every time they take the field.
Brassier’s actions were perplexing. Despite struggling against Mbappe throughout the match, Brassier’s constant rash tackles culminated in his expulsion after 70 minutes. His second yellow card, in particular, was senseless, as Brassier recklessly stamped on Mbappe’s calf as he approached goal.
PSG’s Ligue 1 journey continues as they face Lille on Saturday, followed by the first leg of their Champions League last-16 clash with Real Sociedad.
