Mauricio Pochettino had asked for "total respect" from his players for this first meeting of the Coupe de France against the fans of the Entente Feignies-Aulnoye (N 3).
He was heard.
Remained quietly in front of his television, provided he owns Eurosport 2, Lionel Messi must have appreciated the job well done by his partners to qualify for the round of 16 of the competition.
Paris will meet against Vannes (N 2), on January 2 or 3.
But it is not yet certain that the seven-fold Golden Ball will be in the game as this meeting will arrive quickly after the return from the Christmas holidays.
In the meantime, Messi has prepared for a last blow of the collar in Lorient, in Ligue 1, next Wednesday.
Just like Marquinhos also left to rest.
Mbappé, a 42nd and a 43rd goal before the holidays
In his management of the troops, Pochettino had logically chosen to align with Valenciennes Marco Verratti and Kylian Mbappé, suspended for the trip to Brittany and therefore now on vacation.
The two men did not spare their efforts for this last outing for them in 2021. Of course, on the eve of his 23 years, it was Mbappé who once again stood out the most.
Two fouls on him - a tackle and an arm crash - led to two penalties.

He transformed the first (16th) before leaving Mauro Icardi the ball of the second (31st), the Argentinian having come to whisper in his ear how much he needed to take care of his poor statistics.
The Bondynois did not oppose it well aware that he had already broken his record of goals in one year with his 42nd achievement.
Especially since he was then able to register, from the left and on a center behind Dagba, his 43rd goal of the year, his third double in three games (51st).
Rendezvous for him after January 1 when he will be free to engage wherever he sees fit.
"I think we still have good possibilities to extend it", assured Leonardo on Europe 1. Before that, Mbappé will have had to face the amateurs of selfies who came too easily, at the last minute, to him.
⚽ The light comes from the inevitable Mbappé!
The Bondynois transforms a penalty he obtained: 1-0 for PSG against Feignies-Aulnoye!

Two other players lit up this evening on the Parisian side.
Despite the difference in level against a fifth division team, Sergio Ramos and Xavi Simons have thus distinguished themselves.
The Spaniard was hungry for the game. Appeared only in Saint-Etienne, on November 28, this season, he was not worried defensively by Malick Sambou so he hit, tried to score with a header, with an acrobatic kickback or even a 60m lob.
He gave way to Dagba, perhaps in the hope of continuing in Lorient.
Clear action and Mbappé offered himself a double.

But if there is one player that Parisian supporters would like to see quickly, it is certainly Xavi Simons.
With his velvet ball touch, the 18-year-old Dutchman showed all his talent, especially for his bright pass to Dagba at the origin of the 3rd Parisian goal.
One evening for the Titis
Pochettino also gave playing time to two other Parisian titis who were impatient.
Michut and Gharbi in the 64th, then Bitshiabu, 16, in the 75th, for his first official appearance.
"It's important that young people feel that they are part of the project," he explained on the eve of the match.
See you in the next round for the confirmation of this promise.
