REPORT: PSG NAVIGATE NERVY FINALE TO SECURE SILVERWARE
PSG saw off Lyon 2-1 to secure yet another Coupe de France trophy and French domestic double thanks to goals from Ousmane Dembele and Fabian Ruiz despite Kylian Mbappe drawing a blank on his final game as a Parisian.
A month after beating Lyon 4-1, Luis Enrique’s side looked set to once again run riot when they went 2-0 up 34 minutes into a dominant first-half with Dembele’s second goal contribution, but the heroics of Lucas Perri in the Lyon goal just about kept his side in touch.
If anything, the scoreline flattered Lyon who created very little particularly in the first-half, but were handed a lifeline when Ireland's Jake O’Brien finished his wonderful debut with the Kids with a commanding header to make it 2-1.
But PSG resumed control and saw out the final third of the game allowing their opponents very few chances to at least give Mbappe a winning send-off before he joins Real Madrid in the summer.

PSG WIN THE COUPE DE FRANCE!
It's a fantastic 15th Coupe de France for PSG, they've done the double once again and professionally saw out the final stretch of the game after O'Brien drew one back.
Mbappe's final game as a Parisian ends scoreless, but he doesn't seem to mind judging by the joyful celebrations at the final whistle.

PENALTY?!?
It's just four added minutes, but the Lyon fans are up in arms as they believe Donnarumma felled Fofana without touching the ball in a 50-50 incident - though more in hope than expectation.

IS THIS IT?
He's the first sub to make a difference for Lyon, Balde broke free down the left and whipped in a flat cross that was cleared for a corner. Meanwhile PSG make another change...

CARDS ALL ROUND
Both Dembele and Tagliafico enter the book, but Lyon can barely get hold of the ball let alone launch an attack and there likely won't be too much stoppage time either.

LAST CHANCE SALOON?
Lyon don't have long left, can they force a winner? After losing two FA Cup finals with Chelsea and Manchester United, Matic will play no further part in attempting to avoid an unwanted hat-trick.

Finally that change becomes official, though PSG still managed to win a corner down to 10.

WALKING WOUNDED
Fabian Ruiz is writhing around in the centre circle while Barcola's race is already run, but after receiving treatment Luis Enrique must wait for the ball to go out of play to take his side back up to 11 men.

HOW MANY MORE CHANCES?
Lyon are still happy to give PSG plenty of the ball, in truth the leaders are still playing as if the tie was level. Can Lyon force one more break though?

DEFLECTED SHOT!
That could've been the equaliser!! A floated cross fell to Lacazette's feet and his shot deflected through Vitinha's legs but bounced safely behind for a corner.
There was nothing safe about O'Brien (again) meeting the set-piece though, his lower header flashed just the wrong side of the post.

He's barely made an impact really, it's another like-for-like swap on the left wing.

Maitland-Niles looked in contention to start this one but will have to show what he can do off the bench instead.

20 TO GO
It couldn't be poised much better either. Lyon are starting to offer more themselves, as they need to, but that's allowing PSG more opportunities too. And the fog is only just clearing around Donnarumma's goal after all those flares were let off, PSG's supporters are starting to find their voice once more.

FIRST CHANGE
Cherki has been the best of Lyon's front three, but substitutions are definitely a strength of Pierre Sage so who are we to argue. Nuamah scored the only Lyon goal the last time these sides met.

SO CLOSE!
It was nearly deja vu! Another Lyon cross that just passed over O'Brien's head, but Nicolas Tagliafico had pelted forward and met it in full flight. It was just too central though compared to the Irishman's effort and Donnarumma reacted just quickly enough to keep it at 2-1.
60'
END-TO-END STUFF!
It's broken open now though! Lacazette was denied an equaliser by a critical intervention from Hakimi, who then raced down the other end and fired a low fizzer that Perri's fist just about kept out, with Mbappe unable to capitalise on the rebound.

PSG RESPOND
The game has rapidly reverted to type, with PSG grinding down the Lyon resolve with a slow-building attack.

GOAL!!! LYON 1-2 PSG (O'BRIEN)
We said he was the Lyon standout in defence, but he's made a difference at the sharp end of the pitch now too!!! O'Brien rose highest to reach a corner kick and produced a perfectly-placed header into the top corner past a despairing Donnarumma.
The Lyon end is bathed in flares and they're the ones making all the noise, GAME ON!

BARCOLA TRIES TO WALK IT INTO THE NET
That's the trouble with Bradley Barcola... But boy does he look good doing it. He twisted Clinton Mata all over the shop but couldn't force enough of an opening to get the third that really would kill of Lyon.
