A final trophy for Kylian Mbappé with PSG or yet another feat for OL? The Lyonnais and the Parisians meet on Saturday May 25 at 9 p.m. at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium in Villeneuve-d’Ascq to conclude their season. Both teams already have European qualification in their pocket, but PSG wants to end its season in style and offer one last trophy to the captain of the France team before his departure. As for OL, the season is already successful after a crazy rise in the standings, but winning a trophy would be a consecration after twelve years of drought.
- Kylian Mbappé, ciao the artist!
Kylian Mbappé is playing his last match with PSG this Saturday. After seven seasons spent in the capital club, the captain of the French team will say goodbye to the Parisian supporters after the final against OL. And what could be better for the top scorer in PSG history than to win a 15th trophy with his club as a farewell. Absent from the field since the defeat at the Parc des Princes against Toulouse on May 12, Kylian Mbappé would like to finish in style, before leaving France.
- OL have been waiting for a trophy for 12 years
Authors of an exceptional second part of the championship, Pierre Sage’s men moved up from 18th to 6th place, and they can conclude their season in apotheosis. They are already qualified for the next Europa League thanks to their ranking in Ligue 1, and a victory in the Coupe de France final would be the icing on the cake. Especially since OL have not won a title since their Champions Trophy in 2012, a few months after their Coupe de France victory against Quevilly.
- The national treble for PSG?
After its 12th French championship title and its victory in the Champions Trophy in January against Toulouse, PSG can make it three in the event of success in the Coupe de France. If the Parisians have been well above the rest nationally since the takeover of the Qataris in 2011, they have only achieved this treble four times (2015, 2016, 2018 and 2020) in 12 seasons. The Parisians have the opportunity to fill the trophy cabinet a little more, even if that will not erase the painful elimination against Borussia Dortmund in the semi-finals of the Champions League.
