PSG beat Marseille to win French Cup
PARIS, France (AFP) — Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored two goals and set up another as Paris Saint-Germain defeated bitter rivals Marseille 4-2 to clinch a 10th French Cup title yesterday in the Swede’s final game with the club.
Blaise Matuidi fired PSG into an early lead at the Stade de France, but Marseille hit back just 10 minutes later through on-loan Newcastle midfielder Florian Thauvin.
Ibrahimovic then put PSG 2-1 ahead from the penalty spot on 47 minutes, with Edinson Cavani adding a third before Ibrahimovic struck again with his 156th and final goal for PSG eight minutes from time.
Michy Batshuayi grabbed a consolation strike for Marseille late on, but it was academic as PSG successfully defended last year’s domestic treble.
