PSG have erased the disillusionment of last season in the Coupe de France final against Rennes. This year, the Parisians did the job and won 1-0 against Saint-Etienne thanks to a scud from Neymar under the bar of Moulin in the first period. For the rest, what can I say? Not much, as the show was like the current context of French football: in recovery.

A story of posts. Football is a story of centimeters… Who knows what would have happened to this final if Denis Bouanga's tense shot, at the very start of the game, had chosen the right side of the post by Keylor Navas? PSG had their heads under water at that time and a Saint Etienne goal would not have done their business. Yes but no. Conversely, the scud of Neymar (13th), after a festival of Kylian Mbappé, chose to beam the bar and enter the cages of Moulin. Paris then took a big advantage over its evening opponent.
Suddenly, Loïc Perrin… Little riddle: what happens when an elderly player tries to prevent a 21-pin Exocet missile launched full ball towards the goal? Answer: dirty. From a tackle as desperate as it was extraordinarily poorly controlled, the captain of the Greens came to shrivel the ankle of Parisian number 7 in a puzzle style and leave, after a glance at the VAR, his teammates at ten for more than an hour The international tricolor will not recover and will give way to Pablo Sarabia. Are you ready to eat two weeks of Mbappé soap opera from here to the Final 8 in Lisbon?
A victory even uglier than that against Châteauroux in the 2004 final. It's zero.
- Mathieu Faure (@matfaure) July 24, 2020A final ? Above all, a recovery. We are not going to play the flute, if we wanted to see football on Friday night, it was not on the Stade de France side that we had to be. The players quickly stuck out their tongues and it was more about duels, cards and indignation on the respective benches than football. Even if, it must be said, Sainté can thank a huge Jessy Moulin without whom the score could have been much more severe for Claude Puel's men.
