This Tuesday evening, in Lille, Paris Saint-Germain avoided a bad April fish, on the occasion of the first semi-final of the Coupe de France. Faced with the current fifth in Ligue 2, the capital's club missed its first period.

As incredible as it may seem, the red and blue ended up with a deficit of two goals behind on the display board, even before half an hour of play. Indeed, Sasso, a right shot to close range (7th), then al-Saad, half a volley from the left (27th), ignited the Pierre Mauroy stadium.

Dembélé rings the revolt

As against Manchester City in the Champions League, on January 22 at the Parc des Princes, PSG made a comeback. This was started by Ousmane Dembélé, just before half-time, with a powerful strike of the law (45th). From the start of the second period, Captain Marquinhos equalized with a crossed piqued head (48th). A questionable goal insofar as the corner of which he originates should not have been whistled.

Shortly after the hour of play, the very good -fitness gifted found the flaw of a deviated strike under the bar of Jaouen. In the stoppages of the game, Ousmane Dembélé shed all the Dunkirk hopes from returning (90th+5).

Thanks to this success, in pain, PSG is the first qualified club for the final of the Coupe de France. On May 24, the best Ligue 1 club will face Cannes or Reims at the Stade de France, two teams that will compete on Wednesday evening at the Pierre-de-Coubertin stadium.
