The PSG fixed ... or almost. The draw for the 16th round of the Gambardella Cup, carried out on Thursday, designated Torcy or Reims as the next opponent of the Paris club's U19 team, who demonstrated against Lens (6-2) this weekend in the 32nd finals of this French Youth Cup.
The reason? The meeting between the Champenois and the Seine-et-Marne club was stopped by the referee on Sunday in the 84th minute. The Rémois had just topped the lead (4-3) on two goals deemed contested by Torcy. According to the match sheet report, one of the assistant referees felt in danger after receiving threats from spectators gathered around the field. The disciplinary committee of the French Football Federation (FFF) must determine which team will play the next round this Thursday.
Paris in search of its second success in the event
The PSG, reinforced this weekend by Adil Aouchiche and Tanguy Kouassi (Editor's note: holder against Monaco with the professionals this Wednesday evening), has great ambitions in this competition. Paris only won the Gambardella Cup once, in 1991.
