PSG won the 15th Coupe de France in its history this Saturday by dominating Lyon in the final at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium in Villeneuve-d’Ascq (2-1).
Twice clearly dominated by PSG this season in the league – again last month at the Parc des Princes (4-1) – OL were unable to reverse the trend this Saturday in the Coupe de France final. The 106e Of the history. If they shot first in this part, with a nice long-range attempt by Benrahma (2e), the Lyonnais then did not see the light of day in the first period, conceding two fatal goals by Dembélé (1-0, 22e) and Ruiz (2-0, 34e).
Preferred over Lopes for the occasion, with the controversy that we know, Perri in his cage nevertheless held his place, notably defeating Barcola, Zaire-Emery and of course Mbappé. Starting for his last outing with Paris, the captain of the Blues gave a lot on the red and blue front but lacked sharpness and success in his final gestures. A constant in recent months. Not a good omen three weeks before the Euro.
A third trophy this season for Paris
Coming in numbers to the North – not without mayhem with their Parisian counterparts on the road to the stadium – Les Gones supporters were still entitled to their thrills. Thanks to the realization of the hope signed O’Brien shortly after returning from the locker room (2-1, 55e). But also to this head slammed at point blank range by Tagliafico miraculously diverted by Donnarumma (64e).
Insufficient, however, to claim a sixth Coupe de France – the first since 2012 and a short success over US Quevilly which at this time remains the last feat of arms of the Lyonnais on a Lyon scale. Deprived of consecration in the tournament during the two previous editions – supplanted by Nantes in 2022 and Toulouse in 2023 – PSG, champion of France, grants itself the 15e oldest in its history, with a third trophy this season at stake if we consider the Champions Trophy won to the detriment of TFC at the start of the year.
