Tomorrow night, Saint-Brieuc - an amateur club from a sleepy seaside town with only 10 full-time staff - take on the mighty Paris Saint-Germain in the Coupe de France. This being the Coupe de France, they might even win. Here's my piece for @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/615...

Mbappe not just on for a hat-trick but a hat-tricks of goals that he’s celebrated by miming how he scored them.

Abdukodir Khusanov is 20 years old and has about 18 months’ experience of top-level European football. At centre-back. Playing him at right-back against Vinicius Junior in a Champions League knockout game at the Bernabeu feels a bit like an act of cruelty.

■ Longer step length and claw-like action ■ How his speed 'isolated' him from team-mates ■ Being taught to slow down at PSG ■ How his role has changed at Real Madrid Tom Williams and @markcarey93.bsky.social analyse Mbappe's relationship with speed.

Won’t see many more technical midfields in this season’s Champions League than the Akliouche-Camara-Ben Seghir combo that Adi Hutter has gone for at Benfica tonight. And with Minamino playing off Embolo up top. Promising so far, could prove disastrous.

NEWSFLASH: Kylian Mbappe is fast. But what makes him fast? What is characteristic about the way he uses his speed? And how has the way he uses his speed evolved over the course of his career? My piece with @markcarey93.bsky.social for @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/614...

Seventeen goals in his last 10 games now for Ousmane Dembele - and 22 for the season (in early February) against a previous best of 14. Hard to think of many players who suddenly started scoring at the rate of an elite striker at the age of 27.

Niche content here, and I’m not sure how many Welsh speakers there are in Liverpool’s fan base, but Trey Nyoni’s name would fit absolutely perfectly with the chorus of the Welsh hymn ‘Calon Lân’.

Amazing achievement for Lille to finish in top eight. Changed coaches last summer, lost Leny Yoro, came through two qualifying rounds, have been without multiple players (Tiago Santos, Edon Zhegrova latterly, Benjamin Andre tonight) but have beaten Real Madrid and Atletico and now stuffed Feyenoord.

Fun to have all these goals flying in, but also feels a bit like football for people who don’t really like football: no nuance, no slow-burn intrigue, no context, just constant wall-to-wall goals and incident. T20 football. Popcorn football. Augustus Gloop diving head-first into a vat full of goals.

One for Bradley Barcola, two for Ousmane Dembele, PSG 3-0 up at Stuttgart and increasingly looking like the multi-faceted team Luis Enrique has been trying to turn them into since Mbappe left.
