Paris St-Germain secured their place in the French Cup final with a hard-fought victory over Rennes, courtesy of Kylian Mbappe’s decisive goal.
Mbappe’s 40th-minute strike, deflected into the bottom corner, proved to be the difference in a closely contested encounter. The Frenchman had earlier seen a penalty saved by Rennes keeper Steve Mandanda, who also denied him with a superb fingertip save onto the bar.
The win sets up a final showdown against Lyon for PSG, offering them the opportunity to add to their illustrious record of 14 French Cup titles. For Mbappe, who is set to depart for Real Madrid at the end of the season, it presents a chance to leave a lasting legacy at the club before his departure.
