Coupe de France 1985, at the Parc des Princes: Monaco-PSG 1-0
Only a few days after the Heysel tragedy, this 68th Coupe de France final, the first between PSG and Monaco, took place in a burning context around the Parc des Princes. On the meadow, Luis Fernandez, Safet Susic, Nambatingue Toko and the Parisians, winners of the event in 1982 and 1983, aimed to save a failed season (13th place in D1). Authors of a crazy comeback in the league (11th at the break, 3rd at the finish), the Monegasques wanted to erase the painful memory of the final lost to Metz the previous year (0-2 after). And that's what they did, lifting the Cup for the fourth time in their history thanks to a happy goal from Bernard Genghini in the 14th minute of play. Still Asémiste at the time, Daniel Bravo saw his free kick deflected. by the Parisian wall,before a strike from Dominique Bijotat countered by one of his teammates. Genghini, opportunist, deceived Jean-Michel Moutier. Talented but lacking collective benchmarks, the Parisian squad pushed and created several hot situations, in vain ... The ASM also had some (enormous) opportunities to make the break at the end of the game, but we stayed there (1- 0 final score).

Coupe de France 2010, at the Stade de France: PSG-Monaco 1-0 ap
15 years after their duel at the Parc des Princes, PSG and AS Monaco found themselves in the final of the same Coupe de France. This time it was at the Stade de France. Two clubs which hardly shone in the league that year, with a 13th place for the Rouge et Bleu by Antoine Kombouaré, not yet under the Qatari flag, and the eighth place for the Rouge et Blanc by Guy Lacombe, winner of this Coupe de France at the head… of PSG, in 2006, at the end of a final won against OM (2-1). A European visa at stake. And it was Paris Saint-Germain who saved their season, on a goal signed Guillaume Hoarau, appearing fox from the surfaces during extra time. Logic: the best opportunities have been in Paris,with Stéphane Ruffier boosted in his goals and very happy to see Mevlut Erding's lob fail on his bar in the second half. In a less academic style, Apoula Edel also shone and contributed to what was the capital club's eighth success in the Coupe de France. Paris is aiming for the 14th this Wednesday, in what will be its 19th Coupe de France final, a record shared with OM (9 titles, 10 defeats in the final).
Coupe de la Ligue 2017, at Groupama Stadium: PSG-Monaco 4-1
23rd final of the late Coupe de la Ligue at Groupama Stadium in Lyon. A gala poster between a PSG under pressure, still groggy after the comeback against FC Barcelona (defeat 1-6), and an ASM of Kylian Mbappé on his cloud, still on track in the Coupe de France and the Champions League, leader in Ligue 1 and which had twice stood up to Unai Emery's players in the league (3-2 victory for Louis II, 1-1 at the Parc des Princes). The rest, we know it: Leonardo Jardim's team took control of the L1, while Paris won the Coupe de France. Regarding this League Cup final, there was no photo: 4-1 victory for the Red and Blue, with the opening of the quick score of Julian Draxler, the equalizer signed Thomas Lemar and a goal of 'Angel Di Maria and a double from Edinson Cavani then."We could not show the true face of AS Monaco, we respected too much PSG", railed Nabil Dirar, hot, on

Coupe de la Ligue 2018, at Matmut Atlantique: PSG-Monaco 3-0
We take the same and start again. A year after their demonstration in Lyon, Unai Emery players put it back in 2018 against AS Monaco. Without Neymar or Thiago Silva, packages, but with Kylian Mbappé, transferred from the Principality to the French capital the previous summer. And it was he who made the difference from the start, causing a penalty from the 4th minute of play. Penalty converted by Edinson Cavani. Uncertain before the meeting, Angel Di Maria doubled the bet in the 21st minute on a golden serve from the “Kid de Bondy”. Little dive from Rony Lopes next door, goal denied to Radamel Falcao for a (very slight) offside position… Surgical Paris, unhappy Monaco. Quadruple defending champion, PSG were not going to relax their efforts in the second half and finally killed the suspense in the 85th minute, Cavani's new goal,new "pass D" signed Mbappé. Good for an eighth Coupe de la Ligue victory for PSG, who added their name to the competition for the ninth time in 2020, in what will remain as the last final. AS Monaco will have lifted this trophy only once, in 2003, for three defeats in the final.
