OL-PSG (1-2): The summary of the Parisians’ victory in the Coupe de France final

The Parisian striker responded to France TV after his last match in the PSG jersey: “We hadn’t won this trophy for two or three years, it’s been a long time, we missed it. All along the way, we tried to make people dream, to make young people want to play for PSG. After all these years, it sure hurts a little to say that it’s over. What I got here I’ll never get anywhere else but I’ll get other things and what awaits me is going to be fantastic. »

The OL coach was understandably disappointed after this defeat but proud of this season: “I am disappointed for the players, disappointed also for the supporters who came. We would have really liked to give them a smile and joy one last time. Despite everything, everyone can be proud of the season we had, even if we would have liked a different outcome tonight. We left the initiative to our opponents so much in the first half that inevitably, playing a half with a handicap of 0-2… We had a few situations, we came back to the score, but I think that Paris’ victory is deserved. They’re a great team, they proved it again tonight. »

The OL striker was dejected after this defeat: “I’m disappointed, I’m angry, I’m tired. It was the dream of a lifetime for me, for my teammates. We failed, I hope one day we bring home a cup. We gave everything we had to give today on the pitch. We have come from a long, long way away, people can’t imagine how hard it was. We never stopped working, we never gave up. »

The young French striker reacted to France TV after the match: “It’s a trophy that is close to our hearts. All competitions are close to our hearts when we are Paris-Saint-Germain. So very happy to win it, it’s my first. I am very proud, very happy with this team. We had a wonderful season, the atmosphere between us is incredible and I am proud to be part of this team. »

Stronger throughout the match, the Parisians won against OL (2-1) and won the trophy for the fifteenth time, a record!

The Lyonnais were no longer able to appear dangerous at the end of the match and saw victory elude them.

Berado pushes back a cross from Fofana for a corner. O’Brien, with his header, misses the target and Donnarumma dives to his left. The Italian goalkeeper and Fofana make contact, without incident.

There will be four minutes of added time in this match. PSG is heading towards a fifteenth (!) title in this competition.

Dembélé and Tagliafico were both sanctioned after briefly arguing.

The Parisians, however, kept the ball while the Lyonnais struggled to find the energy to try to equalize.

The Parisians take advantage of the disorganization of the Lyonnais. Mbappé attempts a low shot which is deflected for a corner.

Caqueret sends the ball out of bounds. Dembélé hits the following Parisian corner and finds Beraldo’s head but the ball goes over the target.

The Parisian striker serves Bracola on the left then recovers the ball himself in the area, but he is blocked.

OL have clearly raised their level of play since O’Brien’s goal, while the Parisians are less dominant.

“The FFF condemns in the greatest firmness the serious incidents that occurred before the final of the Coupe de France between Lyon and Paris supporters. These acts of violence, which took place before the match on public roads, are unacceptable. They are the opposite of the values ​​which must be carried by football and which are defended by the federation. The FFF would like to thank the State services and the police who were able to quickly control these excesses. The Coupe de France conveys values ​​of fraternity, respect and unity between the professional and amateur world. The final of this prestigious competition is a celebration and it must remain so. »

That’s it, the final is fully underway! The two goalkeepers are called upon in turn and the OL goalkeeper once again makes a decisive save, against Dembélé.

The Gones have not given up for a few minutes and are going on the attack again. From a corner from Cherki, Tagliafico headed the ball at the near post. PSG’s Italian goalkeeper deflects it and prevents Lyon from equalizing!

In 2019, PSG led 2-0 in the final of the Coupe de France before being overcome by the Bretons, who won on penalties.

The capital club is looking for a third title this season after the Ligue 1 coronation and the Champions Trophy. The Parisians have not won the Coupe de France since 2021.

The Lyonnais will have to show a completely different face in the second half if they want to win a sixth Coupe de France.

The Portuguese defender of PSG stopped at the microphone of France TV before returning to the locker room: “We did everything well in this first half. We don’t let Lyon attack. Their forwards have a lot of quality on the ball so we try to make them throw the ball, because we have good defenders. »
