It was, in any case, a special match for Mayulu, who, coming on as a substitute for Doué, wore the French national team shirt for the first time in his career. The red-and-blue number 24 thus became the 11th player to represent France whilst playing for Paris Saint-Germain, following in the footsteps of Luis Fernandez (34 caps for PSG), Presnel Kimpembe (28), Mamadou Sakho (14), Warren Zaïre-Emery (13), Nicolas Anelka (10), Adrien Rabiot (6), Alphonse Areola (3), Amara Simba (3), Jean-Claude Lemoult (2) and Clément Chantôme (1).
