Coupe De La Ligue: PSG beat Lyon on penalties to clinch fourth home treble in six years

Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) beat Olympique Lyonnais on penalties 6-5 to win the Coupe De la Ligue 2019-20

Paris St-Germain beat Lyon on penalties in the French League Cup final to seal a fourth domestic treble in six years.

It was the final French League Cup final, with the decision made last September to cancel the tournament after this season, and ended 0-0.

After the first 10 penalties were scored, PSG keeper Keylor Navas saved from Bertrand Traore before Pablo Sarabia scored the winning kick.

The game was watched by about 5,000 fans at the Stade de France.

It was only the second domestic game in France since Ligue 1 was curtailed in April - with PSG beating Saint-Etienne 1-0 last Friday in the French Cup final.

The game had little in the way of real drama, except Lyon defender Rafael being sent off in the final minute of extra time for fouling Angel di Maria on the edge of the box.

Lyon are now facing a first season without European football since 1996-97, unless they win this season's Champions League.

They visit Juventus next Friday in the last-16 second leg, holding a 1-0 first-leg win.

PSG, who have won 25 of France's last 36 domestic trophies, play Atalanta in the quarter-finals on Wednesday, 12 August as they look for a quadruple.

The 2020-21 Ligue 1 season begins on 23 August, the same day as the Champions League final.

It has been confirmed that French striker Kylian Mbappe will miss the Champions League encounter between PSG and Atalanta due to injury sustained in the French Cup final against Saint-Etienne after a horrible tackle by defender Loic Perrin.

Atalanta Head Coach Gasperini has said he felt "sorry" for the French striker after he was ruled out for the CL clash against the Italian side.
