Christophe:” Kylian Mbappe is Paris Saint-Germain's new vice-captain”!

PSG manager Christophe Galtier was seemingly unsurprised by Kylian Mbappe's brutal five-goal display in Paris Saint-Germain's Coupe de France demolition of Pays de Cassel on Monday. Galtier confirmed that Kylian Mbappe is Paris Saint-Germain's new vice-captain after his five-goal showing in the French Cup. The French international was in sensational form against sixth-tier outfit sixth-tier Pays de Cassel as he scored three in a 10-minute period towards the end of the first half, and added two more after the break to fire PSG to a 7-0 win. PSG eased into the last 16 of the competition with an emphatic 7-0 victory at Lens' Stade Bollaert-Delelis, with Mbappe involved in all but one of their goals. "Kylian Mbappe's a goalscorer, he's obsessed with goals and attacking," the coach told beIN SPORTS."I'm not going to say he's going to gain confidence [from scoring five goals], but he's up to his standard. "It was important for him and Neymar to play the full game. They combined a lot and looked after each other a lot. It was good for them." "Respect means playing at our level. We're happy. It was a great opportunity for [Pays de Cassel], and for us because we also come from amateur football. "We are very happy to come and play, and it is an important competition for Paris Saint-Germain."On the other side of things, Pays de Cassel coach Samuel Goethals spoke of his pride despite the heavy defeat, highlighting how playing in front of such a crowd was by no means a regular occurrence. "It's still a source of great pride," he added. "The game was complicated, we did things within our means. I'm super proud of the group. "We knew the balance of power was going to be very unbalanced, and it was unprecedented for each of us to play in front of 35,000 people, but I saw a yellow and black stadium, it was magnificent to experience.
"You have to be real, we are in Regional One, the sixth division, we are amateurs, and this was seen on the field. I would have preferred that we conceded one or two goals less, but [the match's speed] was too fast."
