00:00Stade de Reims get the 107th Coupe de France final underway here at the Stade
00:07de France. The Ligue 1 side looking to spring an almighty upset here tonight a
00:14club without silverware for 63 years. Stade de Reims have a glorious pass
00:19though tonight they are looking to defeat the dominant force of the
00:23present Paris Saint-Germain. Reims in their traditional red and white strip up
00:31against the Parisians in blue and immediately one to chase for Bradley
00:35Barcola. Yves Van Duf coming out of his box to clear. PSG have such an incredible
00:44record in the Coupe de France but they have failed to beat Reims in their last
00:48three attempts. Raims holding the Parisians to draws the three consecutive
00:55consecutive league matches. Defending numbers like this. Hakimi. I think the
01:05important thing for Dior's team is that they can pose at least the occasional
01:09threat on the counter. At the moment they're giving possession back to Paris
01:12Saint-Germain. Ousmane Dembele. Lovely chip from Dembele. Hakimi in the clear. Big
01:17chance for Paris Saint-Germain. Hakimi still comes back to Dembele and it's blocked.
01:24Now the first moment of danger inside the rounds penalty area. It came from a lovely
01:30Ousmane Dembele path through to Hakimi.
01:38Ruins to Barcola.
01:39Atangana came back but Desiree Douai managed to wriggle away from him and a lovely turn and shot from Douai.
01:52What a season Desiree Douai has had and nearly produced another memorable moment there.
01:57Because PSG have a bit of space. It's a great ball from Douai. Barcola in the clear. Bradley
02:02Barcola for PSG. Paris Saint-Germain are in front. Thanks to the French international
02:09Bradley Barcola. A clinical finish after being released by Desiree Douai. First blood to the Parisians.
02:20First blood to the cup holders. Just about the first time the rounds have committed a few men forward.
02:25Look how quickly Paris Saint-Germain punished them. Vitinha finding Douai. Douai with a slide rule pass.
02:34Barcola did so well to get in behind Hakimi. And this finish was absolutely clinical.
02:44Tucking it into the bottom corner. Barcola scores first in the cup final.
02:51Marquinhos in behind. Douai is in the clear. It could be two. It is two. Two goals in a couple of minutes for Bradley Barcola and Paris Saint-Germain are absolutely flying here in the Stade de France.
03:18Too good. Two good. Douai and Barcola at the double.
03:28To the Ligue 1 title. And they could be absolutely flying now towards the double.
03:35The defence is split this time by a Marquinhos pass. Douai getting in behind Hakimi.
03:42And Barcola had found himself in a brilliant position. Surged onto this. And he won't score too many easier ones.
03:50Atangana and Kone. I just feel it doesn't matter how many men they get behind the ball. PSG seem to find space.
04:10Dembele spotting an opportunity to dribble. Dembele still. He'll get there. No, he won't.
04:15Yevon Duf. Maybe a little bit less intensity from Paris Saint-Germain after going 2-0 up.
04:21But now they accelerate with Nuno Mendes. Mendes with the pass that's picked off by Kone.
04:26But it's given away. Desiree Douai with a chance. Douai with a shot deflected over.
04:37Good ball from Dembele. Ruiz. Bit of space for Barcola.
04:42Barcola's chipped to the far post. And it's Ashraf Hakimi.
04:45Absolutely superb from PSG. Who played the ball from one side of the pitch to the other.
04:54At lightning speed. The cross from Barcola's superb. And Ashraf Hakimi has made it.
05:01Paris Saint-Germain 3. Rennes 0. And we're not even at half-time yet.
05:0614 assists. He is a serious attacking weapon for the Parisians.
05:16He's just placed that beautifully. Timing his volley to perfection and it flies past you.
05:26Well, the threat coming from all angles and it is all too much for Stade de Raus.
05:37Paris Saint-Germain.
05:40Well, the referee blows for half-time. The whistle will come and some relief to Stade de Raus
05:46who have been put to the sword in this first half by Paris Saint-Germain.
05:51Bradley Barcola netting two goals inside the first 20 minutes.
05:55Putting the Parisians on track and Ashraf Hakimi perhaps finishing Rouse off on 43 minutes.
06:00The score.
06:01Back underway then for the second half.
06:07Rouse against Paris Saint-Germain and Rouse if they had a
06:11a big job on their hands at kickoff they now have a mountain to climb.
06:14They are three goals down against the Parisians.
06:1845 minutes to try to produce a miracle.
06:21Liverpool proved it's possible against AC Milan in 2005 but it was a very, very special display there from Liverpool.
06:33PSG will hope now to coast towards victory.
06:38There will be, of course, somewhere in the back of their mind the Champions League final next week and they thought that they absolutely mustn't get injured but the best way not to get injured is to be absolutely at 100%.
06:53They've got a chance here with Fabien Ruiz into the box, couldn't quite get any.
06:58Now Diakite with a heavy touch. This is Fabien Ruiz.
07:02Bradley Barcola. Bradley Barcola.
07:05Denied by Diouf.
07:08Intercepts for Rouse.
07:09Oh, Zucchini's lost it.
07:12Big chance for Ousmane Dembele who chips the keeper and hits the bar. The flag has got up.
07:18So it wouldn't have counted.
07:21Mayulu, good run from him.
07:24Not a bad ball either.
07:25Gonzalo Ramos with the shot.
07:27Diouf with another save.
07:31Gets himself going the right way but he's been dispossessed now by Mayulu.
07:34Nathan Gauna takes one in the face.
07:42Low profile game tonight.
07:45The referee hasn't had too many difficult decisions to make.
07:50We haven't had a yellow card yet.
07:54And Paris Saint-Germain have done it.
07:57They have surged to the domestic double.
08:01They have won the Coupe de France here tonight for the 16th time in their history.
08:09Extending their record.
08:12Louis Enrique and Paris Saint-Germain march on.
08:17Stade de Rouse disappointed but they've been outplayed, outclassed tonight by the Parisians.
08:23It is a domestic double for Paris Saint-Germain.
08:28And in seven days time they will hope to make it an historic treble.
08:33When they play Internationale in the Champions League final.
08:36Before then Stade de Rouse will hope to secure their top flight status by beating Mets in the promotion relegation playoff.
08:42That's on Thursday night.
08:44Walking up the steps.
08:54They are very much used to winning this trophy.
08:57It is the eighth time in the last 11 seasons that Paris Saint-Germain have won the Coupe de France.
09:08The 16th time in their history and Didier Deschamps would have enjoyed the performance of Bradley Barcola tonight.
09:16There's two goals set up by another French international, Desiree Douai.
09:23Paris Saint-Germain not the only side with considerable talent at their disposal.
09:29Les Bleus also looking formidable.
09:34And the President Emmanuel Macron I'm sure will be congratulating them and wishing Paris Saint-Germain luck when they effectively represent France in the French game.
09:46Next Saturday in Munich against Internationale.
09:53These guys are all winners already.
09:58Tonight confirms that even more.
10:03William Pacho among those in his first season at Paris Saint-Germain along with João Neves and Desiree Douai.
10:10A domestic double that will be all the more memorable for them.
10:14Gigi O'Donorouma had a watching brief this evening that he knows that all eyes will be on him.
10:26The former AC Milan player in next Saturday night's final.
10:29Ousmane Dembele, no goals for him tonight, very much in the thick of the action though and very nearly scored when his shot was deflected onto the upright by the goalkeeper.
10:47Luis Campos who has just extended his stay, the sporting advisor, who's excellent work is very much being recognized now as is the work of that man Luis Enrique.
11:01Back to back-to-back doubles in his first two seasons, the first man to do that.
11:10Neves and Vitinha, the maestros in the midfield.
11:15A happy weekend for Paris Saint-Germain who have just been too good for Stade de Reims this evening.
11:32They stamped their authority on the fixture right from the word go dominating the possession.
11:39And then just when Stade de Reims came out and left a little bit of space they pounced.
11:44He pounced.
11:55Marquinhos shaking hands with Jean-Michel Horace and now Nasser Al-Khalaifi.
12:02The Minister of Sports also along with the FFF President and of course the President of the country Emmanuel Macron and his wife.
12:10Marquinhos now being congratulated by the Stade de Reims president.
12:17He's been here before a few times Marquinhos, he knows what this is all about.
12:24He is going to lift the Coupe de France trophy for the eighth time in his career.
12:30Incredible.
12:33He is a trophy winning machine.
12:35A man who has been at Paris Saint-Germain for more than a decade now.
12:42The players, the savour, the blues, are the winners of this edition.
12:48Marquinhos will be heading back out onto the pitch now to join the rest of his teammates who are on the platform ready to celebrate.
13:07It's been a fantastic edition of the Coupe de France so once again we've had some remarkable stories.
13:16Amateur clubs again thriving Bourgoin Jalieu who knocked out Olympique Lyonnais.
13:22There were some almighty upsets and we very nearly had a second tier team in the final.
13:29We nearly had an amateur team Cannes in the final as well.
13:32But Reims beat them.
13:34PSG beat Dunkerque in the semis.
13:37And PSG have beaten Stade de Reims.
13:41Paris Saint-Germain, the Coupe de France winners in 2025.
13:44They have won the famous trophy for a record 16 times now.
13:52Domestic double winners for a second consecutive season.
13:57Luis Enrique's side have dominated the French game this season.
14:04And they will look to add continental glory to that next weekend when they meet Inter in the Champions League final.
14:11PSG celebrating once again.
14:18They have run out comfortable victors this evening against Stade de Reims.
14:24Two goals from Bradley Barclay, one from Ashraf Hakimi.
14:30Paris Saint-Germain three.
14:32Stade de Reims nil the final score.
14:35Les vainqueurs the winners.

15:00Paris Saint-Germain.
15:01Paris Saint-Germain.
15:02Paris Saint-Germain.
15:03Well, Luis Enrique, the manager, Luis Campos, sporting advisor, and Nasser Al-Khalifi, the club president, have pieced together an extraordinary football team.
15:20Who would have thought that after the departure of Kylian Mbappe last summer, this side could get even stronger?
15:26They have done.
15:29They've repeated the feat of last season and they have an opportunity to make history.
15:33By making it a treble with European glory.
15:40Marquinhos and PSG all smiles this evening.
15:45They have won the 107th Coupe de France final.
15:50Disappointment for Raus, but there was no stopping Paris Saint-Germain tonight.
15:55I hope you've enjoyed our coverage from the Stade de France and throughout the season.
16:00We'll look forward to seeing you for more Coupe de France action next term.
