Paris Saint-Germain emerged victorious in the Coupe de France final with a 2-1 win over Lyon, thanks to goals from Ousmane Dembele and Fabian Ruiz in the first half. The match, which took place at Stade Pierre-Mauroy, marked Kylian Mbappe’s final appearance for PSG, where he failed to score but celebrated yet another trophy win.
Luis Enrique, in his debut season as PSG’s manager, led the team to a domestic treble, clinching the Coupe de France for the 15th time in the club’s history. Dembele opened the scoring in the 23rd minute, heading in a precise cross from Nuno Mendes. Midfielder Ruiz extended the lead shortly after with a goal from a difficult angle.
Although Lyon managed to pull one back early in the second half through Jake O’Brien’s header, PSG held on to their lead. Gianluigi Donnarumma also made a crucial save to keep Lyon at bay, ensuring PSG’s victory. Mbappe, leaving PSG with an impressive record of 256 goals in 308 appearances, bid farewell to the club with another title under his belt.
