Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) triumphed in spectacular fashion with a 7-0 victory over fourth-tier Stade Briochin in the French Cup quarterfinals. Gonçalo Ramos stole the show, scoring a brilliant hat trick to propel PSG into the semifinals. Stade Briochin’s dream run, which included surprising victories over Ligue 1 sides Nice and Le Havre, was brought to an end by a dominant PSG side aiming for their 16th French Cup title.
PSG head coach Luis Enrique was pleased with the team’s performance, saying, “It’s a perfect evening because we’ve reached our goal of qualifying for the semifinals and giving other players a chance to shine.” He also commended Stade Briochin for their exceptional cup journey.
The match saw João Neves open the scoring in the 16th minute, followed by Ramos’ two goals—one from the penalty spot and another from an assist by Désiré Doué. Doué, who also assisted Ramos in completing his hat trick, contributed to the scoreline by setting up Senny Mayulu for the sixth goal. Ousmane Dembélé sealed the 7-0 rout with a powerful strike late in the match.
PSG, unbeaten since November, will next face Lille in Ligue 1 before preparing for their Champions League round-of-16 clash against Liverpool. Luis Enrique highlighted the team’s attacking prowess, noting, “We’ve scored 17 goals in our last three matches and are improving each game.”
In other French Cup action, Dunkerque pulled off another upset, defeating Brest 3-2 to reach the semifinals, while Reims won 5-3 on penalties against Angers. Fourth-tier Cannes also made headlines by eliminating Ligue 2’s Guingamp with a 3-1 victory.
