PSG Explodes Stade Reims; Portuguese Triplets Celebrated in French League
Paris Saint-Germain Secures Domestic Treble with 3-0 French Cup Final Victory Against Stade Reims
In French football, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) achieved a significant milestone on Saturday, clinching a domestic triple, thanks to a 3-0 victory over Stade Reims in the French Cup final. The Parisians have already claimed the league title and the Super Cup, making this their third domestic trophy this season.
The match, held at the Stade de France, witnessed a one-sided affair, with PSG taking a comfortable lead at halftime. In the 16th and 19th minutes, young talent Barcola netted a brace, while Hakimi scored in the 43rd minute to give PSG a commanding 3-0 lead by the break. Substitute Gonçalo Ramos made an appearance in the second half for PSG.
Facing the looming Champions League final, PSG adopted a more measured approach in the second half, managing their players effectively.
Coached by Luis Enrique, PSG solidified their status as a formidable force, boasting a record of 16 Coupe de France titles, the most in French football. With nine league titles won in the last decade, they are eying the UEFA Champions League title, which they have yet to secure. The upcoming final against Inter Milan on May 31 promises to be a significant test.
