Reactions

Tonight's hat-trick scorer, Edouard Michut and Mauricio Pochettino all spoke to PSG TV after the fine 4-0 win over Vannes in the last 32 of the Coupe de France.

Mauricio Pochettino

“I'm very pleased. I think it was a very good performance, a very solid performance, and I'm happy to be in the next round. That was the objective before we played, and after the victory, I am really happy. It's always difficult to play before the game because you can get caught out sometimes, but I'm happy because we were very solid, very professional, and now we are in the next stage; that was the objective. The game against Lyon is a big game. We'll be ready to compete at our best."

On Mbappé scoring 150 goals for the club: "Yes, it's unbelievable. I'm happy for him and happy for the team because it helped the team to achieve what we wanted.”

On scoring 150 goals for the club: "It's an honour. Scoring so many goals for such a big club is always nice. There are only three of us, and the gap between us is closing more and more. I'm lucky enough to play alongside two great players. I know that Ibrahimović isn't far off, but the most important thing is that we're through and that we keep preparing well for the matches coming up.

"It's important because in the cup, if you lose, you're out, but we stayed focused from start to finish. We were always trying to play with enough intensity to show them and ourselves respect. We won 4-0, we kept a clean sheet, we weren't put in any danger, and we scored some great goals. We're through to the next round, and we'll carry on preparing to get going again in the league.”

"I'm really happy. I've been working hard every day in training for this moment to come, so I'm obviously really happy. Now, it needs to happen again and again. Tonight, we played the way that we wanted to against quite a strong team. We scored four goals without conceding any, so we're honestly happy.

On what he's hoping for in 2022: "To enjoy myself, to gradually break into the first-team squad and to play more and more!"
