PSG will face OL in the Coupe de France final this Saturday. The presence of Kylian Mbappé was still uncertain. He will indeed be in the group.

Paris Saint-Germain’s season is coming to an end. But before definitively turning its back on the 2023-2024 financial year, the capital club still has an important match to play, with a Coupe de France final to be played this Saturday against Olympique Lyonnais. A meeting over which a mystery weighed on the Parisian side: was Kylian Mbappé going to be part of the group concocted by Luis Enrique or not? The answer came this Thursday.

According to an indiscretion revealed by The Team, the PSG striker has indeed been called up for this final which will be played at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium in Lille (9 p.m.). If the information will perhaps not surprise some, there was still a slight doubt surrounding the presence of the Bondynois who had not taken part in the last two championship meetings with Paris, against Nice and Metz. Since then, Kylian Mbappé has been seen near Cannes where he spent some quality time with Ousmane Dembélé.

Dembélé also present

The former FC Barcelona will also be present for the match against OL. Perhaps the opportunity for him to celebrate one last time winning a title with PSG and Kylian Mbappé. For the latter, it is a fourth Coupe de France which is in the sights, after those won in 2018, 2020 and 2021. Enough to further fill his trophy cabinet, he who also has six titles in Ligue 1, two in the League Cup and three Champions Trophies.

PSG’s task will perhaps not be so easy since facing them, it is an Olympique Lyonnais transcended since mid-season and who is looking for its very first trophy since 2012. An eternity and something to hope to see a great match. With a decisive Kylian Mbappé? The Parisian supporters surely hope so.
