All the supporters present at Parc des Princes, and undoubtedly Kylian Mbappé himself, believed that the captain of the Blues had opened the scoring in this Coupe de France semi-final between PSG and Stade Rennais.
Perfectly launched against by Ousmane Dembélé, who had recovered a ball from Nuno Mendes in midfield, the number 7 of the capital club showed his speed to find himself alone against Steve Mandanda and take care of his right shot. But, deflected by the left foot of the Rennes goalkeeper, the ball finally rebounded on the crossbar without ever crossing the line.

In this type of duel that Kylian Mbappé is particularly fond of, it is the goalkeeper who this time emerged victorious. Preferred to his understudy Gauthier Gallon, lined up each time in the Coupe de France this season, the former Blues goalkeeper started his match perfectly. In the process, the Rennais in turn created a big opportunity with a powerful strike from Kalimuendo, this time repelled by Donnarumma.
