Paris Saint-Germain Advances to French Cup Final

Key Moments

Mbappe saw Rennes goalkeeper Steve Mandanda save his 37th-minute spot-kick at the Parc des Princes, but three minutes later the France captain found the net with a shot that took a deflection on its way in.

"The French Cup is one of our main objectives this season and winning through to the final is a source of satisfaction for all of us," said PSG coach Luis Enrique.

It was Mbappe's 39th goal of the campaign for PSG in all competitions, and he appears certain to break the 40 mark for the third time in four seasons.

PSG will play Lyon, 3-0 winners against second-tier Valenciennes in Tuesday's first semi-final, in the final in Lille on May 25 as the capital side look to add to their record tally of 14 victories in the French Cup.

Consider the Context

The victory sets up a final clash against Lyon, where PSG will look to secure their 15th French Cup title. Mbappe's performance continues to impress, with his goal proving decisive in the semi-final.
