Monaco-PSG: the crazy numbers of Paris in the Coupe de France

2021-05-22T12:36:15.630Z


This Wednesday evening (9.15 p.m.), AS Monaco and PSG face off in the final of the Coupe de France. A competition in which the capital club is


“A final cannot be played, it is won.

At a press conference on Tuesday, Marquinhos recalled this adage of sport which sticks well to the skin of PSG in the Coupe de France.

With 13 titles already in their pocket, the capital club has outrageously dominated the competition since its first appearance in 1970. This Wednesday evening (9:15 pm), he has an appointment with AS Monaco at the Stade de France for a new final and a no more in its history.

19.

PSG will play its 19th Coupe de France final, a record.

All in 51 participations… 19 finals in 40 editions, even if we count from 1981-1982 and his first appearance in the final.

Again, a record.

The red and blue club have made this competition its favorite.

Out of his first 18 finals, he won 13, a percentage of 72% of victories.

We put that back ?

7.

The capital club reached Stade de France for the seventh time in a row since the 2014-2015 season.

With five trophies out of six for the moment since he lost on penalties against Rennes in 2019 (2-2 ap, 5-6 tab).

Seven finals in a row is also a record.

21.

Since 1998, the Stade de France has hosted the national finals (Coupe de France and Coupe de la Ligue).

With 21 appearances, PSG is the “resident” club of the Saint-Denis stadium.

There he played 20 finals and 1 championship match.

No other club has played there so much.

Out of its 21 games, Paris has lost only 5 times.

5.

Marquinhos and Angel Di Maria could jointly hold the record for victories in the Coupe de France with 5 trophies in case of success against Monaco.

They would equal three ex-Parisians: Thiago Silva, Alain Roche and Dominique Bathenay.

But only Thiago Silva has won all of his cups with the PSG jersey.

Roche and Bathenay also won with Bordeaux and Saint-Etienne.

Marceau Somerlinck, star of Losc of the 40s and 50s, also has 5.

16.

With 16 units on the clock (in 16 games), Kylian Mbappé is the second highest scorer in the history of PSG in the Coupe de France.

He equaled, with his double in the semi-finals, Edinson Cavani, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Pedro Pauleta.

If he scores tonight, he would remain alone in this second place.

François M'Pelé with 28 goals in 31 games seems unstoppable.

Be careful, however, Mbappé never scored in the final with Paris.

Premiere night?

3.

It will be the third final in history between AS Monaco and PSG. A victory everywhere so far. The first was taken by the Monegasques in 1985 at the Parc des Princes (1-0). The second by the Parisians in 2010 at the Stade de France thanks to a goal from Guillaume Hoarau in overtime. In total, the two clubs have been opposed 8 times in this competition (5 wins for PSG, 3 for ASM). But the capital club has been undefeated for more than 30 years against this opponent.
