Coupe de France News

Paris Saint-Germain reached the French Cup quarterfinals on Tuesday, with Desire Doue and Bradley Barcola scoring in each half to earn a 2-0 win at third-tier Le Mans.

Paris Saint-Germain booked their place in the last 16 of the French Cup on Wednesday with a hard-fought 4-2 victory over fifth-tier side FC Espaly.

Paris St Germain claimed a 4-3 win on penalties at Lens to reach the French Cup last 32 after a 1-1 stalemate in regular time on Sunday.
Paris St Germain will focus on developing their young talent rather than pursuing reinforcements in the January transfer window as they already have a strong squad, manager Luis Enrique said ahead of Sunday’s French Cup clash with RC Lens.

New Marseille coach Roberto De Zerbi says he's unaware of anything that has gone on in Mason Greenwood's past personal life.
