“There Was Kylian Mbappe…” – Revel’s President Gushes Over Facing PSG at the French Cup

The president of 6th-tier teams in France, US Revel, is licking his lips at the idea of facing French champions PSG. But in Soccer, anything can happen. PSG are the stronger team on paper and favorites for the match but for Revel, none of that matters. The only thing the club is concerned about is just playing against the best, Paris Saint-Germain and Kylian Mbappe.

The Coup de France every year throws an average of approximately 7,000 teams. It is quite astonishing that it has approximately 10 times as many teams as its English equivalent, the FA Cup. For this reason, Revels president Didier Roques opens up and expresses his excitement, which may surprise you.

A once-in-a-lifetime adventure for US Revels facing Kylian Mbappe

Despite playing in the Régional 1 League, the club’s president is not worried about the challenge against the giant. According to reports, in a recent interview, he said, “It’s excellent news; it will remain an unforgettable memory to play PSG, and to add that there was Kylian Mbappé in the line-up, that’s a plus.” But he could be in for a surprise too.

US Revels came from the narrowest win in the 8th round of the tournament by winning on penalties. Given their low chances, the president would just like to enjoy the challenge, saying that any number of great players are welcome. However, Luis Enrique, on the other side, doesn’t want to take any risks, as such games can witness upsets. Additionally, the team may or may not play the 2022 World Cup Golden Boot winner.

According to the reports, Enrique could bring Kylian Mbappe on in between instead of starting him. The Spanish coach said, “This could be the ideal opportunity for (Kylian Mbappé) to rest but also for him to continue playing to keep fit.” Other team news could see players like Kang-In, Lee, Achraf Hakimi, Lucas Hernandez, Marquinhos, and Ousmane Dembélé missing.
