7-0 Demolition! PSG Runs Riot with 17 Goals in 7 Days—Next Stop, Liverpool in the UCL

Paris Saint-Germain is on fire. The French giants have hit a scorching run of form, steamrolling opponents with a relentless offensive onslaught. On February 27 (Beijing time), PSG delivered yet another statement performance, dismantling fourth-division side Briochin 7-0 in the Coupe de France quarterfinals.

While Briochin had earned respect by stunning third-placed Ligue 1 side Nice in the previous round, they were simply no match for PSG’s €870 million squad. Even with Luis Enrique opting to rest several key players, PSG’s second-string attack was more than enough to annihilate their lower-league opposition.

A Ruthless PSG Tear Briochin Apart

Despite missing first-choice stars like Ousmane Dembélé, Bradley Barcola, and Warren Zaïre-Emery from the starting XI, PSG had no trouble dictating the pace. The attacking trio of Gonçalo Ramos, Désiré Doué, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (commonly known as “KK”) tormented Briochin’s defense from the first whistle.

The goals came in rapid succession:

• 16th minute: João Neves struck first with a well-placed shot to open the scoring.
• 36th minute: Mayulu delivered a pinpoint cross, allowing Gonçalo Ramos to slot home PSG’s second.
• 48th minute: KK won a penalty, which Ramos calmly converted.
• 55th minute: Ramos turned provider, setting up Doué for a composed finish.
• 58th minute: Ramos completed his hat trick, capitalizing on a defensive lapse.
• 66th minute: Mayulu joined the party with a clinical strike.
• 85th minute: Dembélé came off the bench to add a final flourish, sealing the emphatic 7-0 victory.

A Devastating Week: 17 Goals in Three Matches

This was no isolated performance. PSG has been on an absolute tear, racking up an astonishing 17 goals in just seven days:

• February 20 (UEFA Champions League Playoff, Second Leg): PSG demolished Brest 7-0 at the Parc des Princes to secure their place in the Round of 16.
• February 23 (Ligue 1, Matchday 23): PSG battled to a 3-2 away victory over Lyon, with Achraf Hakimi scoring twice and Dembélé adding another.
• February 27 (Coupe de France Quarterfinal): The 7-0 thrashing of Briochin completed an unforgettable week of goal-scoring dominance.

PSG’s Attack: A Relentless Goal Machine

Under Luis Enrique, PSG has developed into one of the most lethal attacking forces in European football. Their numbers speak for themselves:

• Ligue 1: 62 goals in 23 matches (31 home, 31 away)
• UEFA Champions League: 24 goals in 10 matches
• Coupe de France: 14 goals in 4 matches
• Trophée des Champions: 1 goal in 1 match
• Total: 101 goals in 38 matches across all competitions

This level of efficiency has turned PSG into a nightmare for defenses across Europe. The departure of Kylian Mbappé at the end of the season is looming, but in the meantime, this attack is delivering performances that suggest they are capable of challenging for every available trophy.

The Ultimate Test: PSG vs. Liverpool in the Champions League

While PSG has feasted on domestic opposition, a true test of their firepower awaits. The UEFA Champions League Round of 16 clash with Liverpool is set to be one of the most anticipated matchups of the season, with the two legs scheduled for March 5 and March 11.

Liverpool, currently sitting atop both the Premier League and the UEFA club rankings, is in equally devastating form. The Reds’ high-pressing, high-intensity style under Jürgen Klopp will present an entirely different challenge compared to the defenses PSG has faced in France.

Yet, given the red-hot form of their attacking stars—Dembélé, Barcola, KK, and Gonçalo Ramos—PSG will go into this encounter with confidence. If they can replicate their current ruthlessness in front of goal, the two-legged tie promises to be a breathtaking battle of attacking supremacy.

A Warning Shot to Europe

Paris Saint-Germain has often been criticized for failing to translate domestic dominance into European success. However, this current PSG side looks different. There is a clinical edge to their game, a hunger that suggests they are not just content with battering lesser teams—they want to prove themselves on the biggest stage.

With their most crucial test of the season looming, PSG has sent an ominous warning to the rest of Europe: they are coming, and they are coming with goals.
