FOOTBALL – HOLDERS Paris St Germain (PSG) cruised to a 3-0 win over Stade de Reims in the Coupe de France final yesterday, sealing a domestic treble for the second successive season, and preparing for next week’s Champions League final in perfect style.
Luis Enrique’s side had little trouble seeing off relegation battling Reims, strolling to a 3-0 first half lead with Bradley Barcola netting twice in three minutes and Achraf Hakimi scoring two minutes before the break.
Reims were again pinned back in their own half after the interval by a dominant PSG, and while they couldn’t find any further goals, a record-extending 16th French Cup win was never in any doubt at the Stade de France. PSG, already Ligue 1 champions and French Super Cup winners, now aim to win the club their first Champions League trophy when they take on Inter Milan in Munich on May 31.
