Paris Saint-Germain limbered up for next week's Champions League run-out by downing Brest 3-1 to seal their ticket to the French Cup quarterfinals on Wednesday.
One week before they host Real Sociedad at the Parc des Princes in the Champions League last 16, PSG gained a confidence-boosting win against their fellow Ligue 1 rivals.
Kylian Mbappe got the French champions off to a sound start with the opening goal, with Danilo Pereira and Goncalo Ramos completing the scoring after Steve Moune had scored for Brest.
Job done! ✅

The visitors were reduced to 10 men when Lilian Brassier was red-carded for two wayward tackles on Mbappe.
PSG next face Lille in Ligue 1 on Saturday before the visit of Real Sociedad next Wednesday.
Elsewhere Lyon defeated Lille 2-1 to progress to Thursday's quarterfinal draw where they will be joined by Nice, 4-1 winners over Montpellier.
Fifth-tier St Priest's Cup run came to an end with a gallant 2-1 defeat to Ligue 2 Valenciennes.
