Carried out this Monday evening at the Parc des Princes, the draw for the 32nd final of the Coupe de France (advanced this season to mid-December), gave great posters, with three clubs from L1, Lyon, Monaco and Angers, who will come in the Paris region.
PSG, winner of 6 of the last 7 editions, was spared with a trip to Feignies-Aulnoye, current 4th in its group of N3 Hauts-de-France.
“We are a club from two small towns in the North, we are going to have a great party.
My players and my staff must have fainted upon hearing this draw, ”smiles its president Laurent Menisse.
For his second 32nd round after those of 2019-2020 where he faced PSG,
Linas-Montlhéry
will receive Angers.
The Paul Desgouillons stadium not being approved, the Essonnian N3 team, falling from Dunkirk (L2) and Évreux (N3), will have to find a fallback ground.
The most logical solution seems to be the Robert-Bobin stadium in Bondoufle where Linas-Montlhéry had already received PSG in January 2020.
"Hosting Lyon is great news for the supporters and for the club"
Paris FC
5th in L2 has drawn the jackpot with Lyon which should come to fill the stands of the Charléty stadium a little more. Two years after its elimination in the round of 16 by Saint-Etienne (2-3), the Parisians will therefore find another L1 team. "This is great news for the supporters and also for the club," said President Pierre Ferracci. Even if the championship is the priority, we cannot miss this type of event. I am sure of one thing: the club will play its luck and do justice to this jersey. The challenge is very difficult but it remains the Coupe de France…. This match will allow Karl Toko-Ekambi, the OL striker, to find his neighborhood in the 13th arrondissement and his training club.
8th finalist last season against Lyon (4-5 at the tabs) after eliminating Lens (3-2),
the Red Star
, struggling in his championship (15th with 4 defeats in a row) will offer himself a good parenthesis thanks to this Coupe de France with the arrival of AS Monaco.
The match should be able to take place at the Bauer stadium despite its limited capacity (2,999 seats).
“Last season, we had two big games against L1 teams, with Lens and Lyon, but in an empty stadium.
There, we will be able to offer a beautiful poster to our supporters at Bauer ”, underlines Luc Pontiggia, the director general of Red Star.
Penultimate in National,
Créteil
will move to a hierarchically inferior opponent, AS Vénissieux, in the Lyon suburbs, which plays in Regional 1 (6th division).
Versailles
, winner of the Yvelines derby against Poissy on Sunday, will still have to wait to know his opponent.
He will face the winner of the match between Sarre-Union (N3) and the Guadeloupe de Solidarité Scolaire.
If Sarre-Union qualifies, Versailles will have to move to the East.
