In the Champions League as against a fifth division team, PSG relies on the talent of "Kyky" to open the way to victory.

The superstar striker prompted two penalties in the first half that killed the suspense in the bud.

He transformed the first (16th) and Mauro Icardi the second (31st).

Mbappé completed his double, the third in a row after Bruges and Monaco, after returning from the locker room (51st).

Rarely, he wore the captain's armband in the last quarter of an hour, after the exit of Presnel Kimpembe.

Quiet, the French international even agreed to take a "selfie" with a spectator entered the field to meet him, at the end of the match.

With a scorer in such form, no need for Lionel Messi or Marquinhos, left to rest.

Paris spent a quiet evening, holding the title that it is.

The draw made before kick-off did not bring any cloud either, since it is a resident of the fourth division, Vannes, who is waiting for the Parisians in the next round, on January 2 or 3.

By then, they will have to finish the calendar year in Lorient on Wednesday, in Ligue 1, without Kylian Mbappé, suspended.

Faced with the modest opposition of an amateur club, it is difficult to judge the collective performance of the players of coach Mauricio Pochettino.

But on an individual level, two of the holders were closely scrutinized, so rare are they in the field: Sergio Ramos and Xavi Simons.

The former Real Madrid captain, plagued by recurring physical problems since his arrival in July, has played his second game as a Parisian.

If he only played in the first period, the Spaniard with the ponytail had time to distinguish himself, in particular with an acrobatic return not on target (35th).

Simons tried

Volunteer in attack, Ramos was less inspired in defense.

His intervention at the limit (33rd) on Malick Sambou earned the anger of the Northerners who demanded a penalty.

From now on, it is for him to chain matches, with the objective of getting back in shape for the knockout stages of the Champions League against Real, in February-March.

Simons, he is not expected in C1.

But the 18-year-old Dutchman showed on Sunday that he can help out for other occasions.

Arrived in 2019 at PSG, with the reputation of being one of the best potential of his generation, until then he had only had two ends of the match with the pros.

For his first tenure, the former Barcelona, ​​positioned as a right winger, was active, but he lacked precision in front of goal (25th, 65th, 85th), like his teammates.

Like Simons, other "Titis" benefited from playing time. Edouard Michut and Ismaël Gharbi played the last 25 minutes, El Chadaille Bitshiabu, the last quarter of an hour.

Mauro Icardi appears almost like a rediscovery as he has fallen in the hierarchy of attackers in recent weeks, between injuries, marital problems and lack of realism.

The Argentinian scored his first goal in three months from the penalty spot, but he also found the post on a more than favorable occasion (22nd).
