PSG’s match against Reims in the cup final was almost like a training game ahead of the Champions League final. If this game is anything to go by, they are definitely ready for the clash with Inter Milan.Paris Saint-Germain put on a clinical and dominant display in the first half of the Coupe de France final, overwhelming Reims with three unanswered goals in just over 40 minutes of play.Reims showed early promise and nearly stunned the favorites in the 6th minute when Amadou Kone unleashed a powerful shot from distance. His effort was well-directed toward the right post, but PSG goalkeeper Matvey Safonov was alert and made a solid save to deny an early upset.However, that was as close as Reims would get in the opening half, as PSG quickly took control of the match. In the 16th minute, Desire Doue threaded a perfectly weighted through ball into the path of Bradley Barcola, who coolly slotted the ball past the Reims goalkeeper in a composed one-on-one finish to make it 1–0.

Once again, it was the Doue-Barcola connection that did the damage. Doue delivered a sharp, low cross into the box, where Barcola was left unmarked and calmly tapped into an empty net for his second goal of the night, giving PSG a commanding 2–0 lead before the 20-minute mark. The goal is HERE!The reigning Ligue 1 champions continued to dominate possession and dictate the pace, pushing Reims deeper into their own half. In the 32nd minute, Bradley Barcola nearly turned provider again, lofting a precise cross into the area that found Achraf Hakimi, but the Moroccan fullback’s shot flew over the bar.PSG’s relentless pressure paid off again just before halftime. In the 43rd minute, Barcola—already with two goals to his name—sent another lofted pass into the box. Hakimi timed his run perfectly, collected the ball, and drilled a low shot past the keeper into the center of the net, making it 3–0 and all but ending Reims’ hopes before the break.

The only noteworthy moment came when Barcola attempted to complete his hat-trick with a shot on goal, but the Reims goalkeeper made the save. There was also a situation where Dembélé struck the post, although the play was eventually called offside.With this result, PSG added the Coupe de France to their domestic league title. Now, all eyes turn to their biggest challenge yet — the UEFA Champions League final, where they will face Inter Milan.COUPE DE FRANCE – FINALSaturdayPSG – Reims 3-0 (3-0)/Barcola 16, 19, Hakimi 43/
