Meanwhile, Group B also features another Breton clash as Stade Brest squares off against SCO Angers in an exciting derby.

Amidst the myriad of matchups, one particular encounter that has caught everyone's attention is the clash between Paris Saint-Germain and a French Sixth-tier club, Union Sportive Revéloise, also known as US Revel.

This matchup, clearly a battle between heavyweight and underdog, will see Luis Enrique's side travelling to face the Regional 1 team on January 7.

Despite the general expectation of a PSG victory, US Revel is determined to ensure their showdown doesn't go unnoticed.

The French minnows have taken to social media to share their excitement and reaction to facing the Kylian Mbappe-led side.

US Revel's reaction to the PSG matchup

A video posted on social media by Euro Foot captured the entire US Revel squad gathered in what appeared to be the team's cinematic room, eagerly watching the draw unfold.

Upon learning of their clash against PSG, the team erupted in visible delirium, with many players struggling to contain their palpable joy.

The sheer excitement displayed by US Revel has sparked a flurry of reactions on social media.

@congokid2433 humorously noted,

"The Kylian Mbappe's effect."

@barca_talkk, anticipating the clash, commented,

"They're gonna fight for who gets to ask Mbappe for his jersey 😭."

@Unc_66 added,

"Fairs…Probably the highest level they'd ever play,"

while @JasMine35417284 expressed,

"They can't wait to meet the goat, Kylian Mbappe."

PSG celebrate Messi and Mbappe

Earlier, Sports Brief reported on PSG congratulating Lionel Messi, Mbappe, and Randal Kolo Muani for their achievements in the 2023 Ballon d'Or.

The Argentine won his eighth award, beating Man City's Haaland and his former PSG teammate Mbappe, who finished second and third, respectively.

Messi received the 2023 award, perhaps his last, after helping Argentina win the 2022 FIFA World Cup. However, his win was seen as quite controversial.
