PSG defeated Reims 3-0 in the final of the France Cup, succeeding in Hexagon. The Parisians now attack the Champions League, having the opportunity to end the season with the historical triple!
It was a final without history in Paris, on “Stade de France”. With a formula close to the standard one, the only usual holders left on the bench being Donnarumma and Kvaratskhelia, PSG has solved the match from the first part.
PSG has categorically won the France Cup
Kvaratskhelia's replacement in the left tape, Bradley Barcola, staged a One-Man-show. He opened the score in the 16th minute, increased the advantage of Parisians 3 minutes later, and in the 43rd minute it took decisive Achraf Hakimi For the 3-0 goal, which closed the table.
Reims moved massively to the break, 3 changes from a fire, without them having the expected effect. PSG remained in control without forcing, limiting opponents to only 4 shots the whole match, one single quadrated.
It was a demonstration of strength of Luis Enrique's students, who now have all the thoughts of the most important match of their career, the final of the Champions League on May 31, against Inter.
It is the second consecutive cup conquered by PSG and the eighth in the last 11 years.
Lyon takes advantage and goes to the Europa League!
PSG's victory in the Cup final makes Lyon, trained by Paulo Fonseca, qualify in the Europa League 2025/26.
Although he finished only in the 6th place, a position that would normally have ensured the qualification in Conference League, Paulo Fonseca's team benefited from PSG's victory, which released a European place in the French Championship, since the Parisians are qualified in the Champions League from internal champions.
Thus, Lyon and Lille (5th place) will represent France in the Europa League, while Strasbourg has secured his European presence in Conference League, notes Abola.P.
