Psychologist Safonov secures "nil" victory in the French Cup finale, propelling PSG to their third trophy win in the ongoing season.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) secured their second consecutive Coupe de France title on Sunday, defeating Reims 3-0 in the final. The decisive result was established before halftime, with PSG scoring all three goals against their opponents by the 44th minute. Notably, Russian goalkeeper Matvey Safonov feature prominently throughout the match for the French champions.
With the Coupe de France triumph, PSG have now clinched their third trophy of the season, having previously won the Super Cup and the Ligue 1 title. The Red and Blues aim for a historic "quadruple" by also winning the Champions League. No French club has ever accomplished this feat, and PSG will face Milan's Inter in the decisive match of the Champions League.
In pursuit of the quadruple, PSG have already secured the Ligue 1 title and the French Super Cup. However, as of the present, they have yet to win the Champions League and the Coupe de France finals. The sources suggest that PSG was in contention for both titles at the time of the information gathered (May 27).
It is worth noting that none of the French clubs have managed to achieve the historic quadruple of winning the Champions League, Coupe de France, Trophée des Champions (Super Cup), and the national championship (Ligue 1) in a single season. Despite challenging for the achievement, Paris Saint-Germain has yet to secure it, having come close in the 2020 season when they reached the Champions League final but lost.
While PSG remains the only French club to have seriously sought the quadruple, history shows no French club has previously accomplished this feat.
PSG is currently eyeing a spot in the history books, with the Champions League and Coupe de France finals still to be concluded. The prospect of a quadruple victory is within their reach as they continue their campaign in the Champions League. Achieving this would mark an unprecedented achievement for the French club and solidify their status as one of the elite teams in Europe.
Bookmakers across Europe have heightened their interest in PSG's sports performances, particularly in the Champions League, given their pursuit of the historic quadruple. With the French champions advancing to the UEFA Champions League final, football enthusiasts worldwide eagerly anticipate the outcomes of upcoming matches in the European leagues.
