Mbappe signs off from PSG with cup final glory
Paris Saint-Germain beat Lypn 2-1 in the Coupe de France final to end its season with a domestic treble ahead of the departure of star man Kylian Mbappe, who played his last match for the club.
First-half strikes from Ousmane Dembele and Fabian Ruiz put the Ligue 1 champion ahead at the break, and despite former Crystal Palace man Jake O'Brien pulling one back with a towering header 10 minutes into the second half, Lyon was unable to find a way back.
PSH, which also won the French Super Cup this season, dominated the first half at Lille's Stade Pierre-Mauroy to secure a record-extending 15th Cup title and a first since 2021.
Dembele put PSG ahead with a free header after 23 minutes when Nuno Mendes's cross found him unmarked in the six-yard box, and Ruiz doubled the advantage with a strike from a tight angle at the second attempt after Mbappe had gone down in the box colliding with the scrambling defence.
Lyon pulled one back 10 minutes into the second half thanks to Republic of ireland defender O'Brien, nodding home from a corner before, and had it not been for a brilliant save from PSG goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma minutes later, Lyon might well have had an equaliser.
PSG's all-time top scorer Mbappe failed to find the net in his final game for the club, leaving his record at 256 goals in 308 appearances over a seven-year spell unchanged.
