PSG have long been the dominant side in French football but this year’s cup final will not be played by them, with a former Liverpool player reaching the final himself.
Pedro Chirivella left Anfield for Nantes in 2020 and his side completed a famous victory over Monaco, to book their place in the French Cup final in May:
It seems to have been the week for penalties as our first-team won the Carabao Cup, Under 19’s progressed in the UEFA Youth League and that was also how Les Canaris secured their fate.
The 24-year-old took to his social media after the game, to write: ‘We keep dreaming 🔥Merci a tous pour le soutien. Vous êtes vraiment incroyable. Finale! (Thank you all for the support. You are truly amazing. Final!) 💛💚’.
An own-goal from former Everton man Djibril Sidibe helped put the Spaniard’s side back in the game and when it finished 2-2 on 90 minutes, penalties decided the match.
What a day for the young midfielder and let’s hope it’s a successful game for him against Nice, at the end of the season.
