PSG became the French Cup champion this Friday after defeating Saint Etienne in the final (1-0, with a goal from Neymar in the 14th minute), in a game that had the great novelty of the presence of some 5,000 spectators at the stands of the Stade de France in Paris .

It was a game full of controversy, although the most violent action of the night occurred in the first half. After half an hour of play, Kylian Mbappé suffered a brutal entry by Loïc Perrin, for which the veteran Saint Etienne player, who was playing his last game as a professional, was sent off after consulting the referee, Amaury Delerue , with the VAR . The French striker limped away, with tears in his eyes and visibly sore from his ankle to the locker room.

On the play, Mbappé was trying to preface a counterattack started with a steal of the ball in the midfield and headed for Jessy Moulin when he was intercepted by Perrin, who blocked it. The striker was sore, lying on the grass as players from both teams got involved in a brawl.

The brawl ended with several players from both teams cautioned. Yvann Macon and Romain Hamouma, from Saint Etienne, and Leandro Paredes and Marco Verratti, substitute and who jumped on the pitch, from Paris Saint Germain. It was the Spanish Pablo Sarabia who took the place of Kylian Mbappe.

Those of Thomas Tuchel managed to maintain the result and raise the cupbearer title, the 13th in its history, a relief after the suspension of Ligue 1 due to the coronavirus.

Just 19 days after the Champions League match that will face the Gauls against Atalanta, the possible loss of the former Monaco would mean a major setback in his aspirations in the maximum continental tournament.
