The lowest-ranked side left in the competition, Pays de Cassel did not look overawed at Stade Bollaert-Delelis – the home of Lens – but PSG’s vastly superior quality unsurprisingly soon shone through.
An 11-minute first-half spell saw the Ligue 1 leaders roar into an unassailable 4-0 lead, with Mbappe scoring three and setting up Neymar.
Mbappe continued his brutal exhibition after half-time with a couple of close-range goals either side of Carlos Soler’s impudent finish.
Pays de Cassel gave a good account of themselves initially, putting together some intricate passing moves that brought huge cheers around their home away from home.
But PSG’s breakthrough eventually arrived in the 29th minute as Mbappe met Nuno Mendes’ cut-back and found the net via a significant deflection.
He then released Neymar to make it 2-0, the Brazilian dazzling the defence with his quick feet before firing left-footed through goalkeeper Romain Samson’s legs.
Samson could only watch as Mbappe brought up his hat-trick before half-time with a pair of sumptuous chips.
But the keeper was culpable 10 minutes into the second half, completely missing Neymar’s pass and allowing Mbappe a tap-in.
More great work by Neymar just after the hour left Soler to backheel over the line from a couple of yards out.
Soler was involved again 11 minutes from time as Mbappe completed the scoring with another poacher’s effort from the Spaniard’s cross.
