At the Stade de France,
Not always easy to switch to the end of the season when we set foot in the deep end of the Euro, although this Coupe de France final between PSG and AS Monaco seemed very cute to us on the paper. We can not say that we snored, but the 14th coronation of the Parisians (1-0) took shape a little too quickly to arouse enthusiasm. The winners of the evening rub their hands with it. Serene all the way, they make sure to win at least one title this season, while waiting for a miracle this weekend. The Asemists, they will still have to wait before lifting the Coupe de France for the first time in this century.
Disasi delivers the Cup to Paris
A good look at the scoresheet while Emmanuel Macron told his return to the terrace to the 22 holders of the meeting, we said to ourselves that there was a shot to play for Monaco without Neymar in front and with a deprived Parisian environment of creative people. But the Gueye-Paredes-Danilo trio benefited from a rather wait-and-see start to the match from ASM, which left the responsibility of the physical fight to Sidibé and Disasi alone. Gnawed by remorse after his first tatane blows on Mbappé’s shins – which we will remember the phenomenal breakthrough in the quarter of an hour of play – the former Rémois bought his forgiveness by bazaaring a revival in the feet of the French international , who did not pray to serve Mauro Icardi (19th). More asado than scoresheet, the Argentine does not tremble, 1-0.
Monaco, late awakening
The slap had the merit of waking up the challengers but as often in such closed finals, the fate of the meeting was sealed as soon as Paris had passed in front. For the story, we will say that Monaco fought, climbed two, three notches on the field by intelligently pressing on the Parisians not very friendly with the ball like Kehrer or Diallo, and even touched the bar (68th) . PSG faller twice this season, Monaco had found the formula in Ligue 1, but ultimately proved too naive for an opponent used to these meetings where everything is played out on one night. With its lead, the Pochettino team was content to wait for the storm to pass, and for Kylian to strike again. First on the bar (80th), then in the goal of Majecki. Thank you goodbye. Strongly the association in Blues with Karim Benzema.
