Paris Saint-Germain produced a dominant display to secure the Coupe de France title, setting the stage perfectly for their Champions League final against Inter next week.
Bradley Barcola stole the spotlight at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy, netting twice and providing an assist as PSG cruised to a 3-0 triumph over Reims in Saturday’s final.
The Ligue 1 champions were clinical in the opening 45 minutes, with Barcola’s quick double and Achraf Hakimi’s volley all but sealing the win before halftime.
Luis Enrique’s men managed the second half professionally, preserving energy and control as they wrapped up their 16th Coupe de France title.
The victory completed a domestic treble for the Parisiens—adding to their Ligue 1 crown and the Trophee des Champions.
Barcola broke the deadlock in the 16th minute, sprinting behind the Reims backline to latch onto Desire Doue’s incisive through ball and coolly slotting past Yehvann Diouf.
Just three minutes later, the same duo linked up again. Marquinhos delivered a ball down the right for Doue, who squared it across the face of goal for Barcola to tap in from close range.
The first-half dominance continued as PSG struck again two minutes before the interval. Barcola whipped in a precise cross to the far post where Hakimi met it with a composed volley to make it 3-0.
Although Ousmane Dembele nearly added a fourth after the hour mark, his shot deflecting off Diouf’s leg onto the post—PSG had already done enough. They saw out the second half with ease, much like they did in last season’s final against Lyon.
Barcola’s standout performance capped a superb domestic campaign. He led the match in dribbles (six) and shots on target (three), and in doing so, became just the second player in the 21st century to register two goals and an assist in a Coupe de France final—matching Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s feat from 2016 against Marseille.
PSG’s attacking intent was reflected in their expected goals (xG) figure of 2.84 from 20 shots. In contrast, Reims managed only four attempts with an xG of just 0.14—forcing Matvey Safonov into action just once.
With their domestic duties completed in emphatic fashion, PSG now turn their full attention to conquering Europe.
