PSG take on the visitors Reims in the final match of Coupe de France. The match will be played on Saturday, May 24th at Stade de France (Paris - Saint-Denis).
PSG are unlikely to focus much on this match — or domestic matters in general. The Parisians have long been built for Champions League glory. Domestically, they are simply too strong for the rest of French football and have faced little meaningful competition for years. Luis Enrique guided them to the semi-finals of Europe’s top competition last season, eliminating Barcelona in dramatic fashion. This year, his side started 2024 rather slowly, but came alive in the knockout rounds, notably dispatching Liverpool on penalties and beating Arsenal in the semis. Now they face Inter in the final, and with Ligue 1 already wrapped up early, PSG have played out a series of flat performances down the stretch. Even in the cup, they trailed 0-2 after half an hour to modest Dunkerque, although they eventually pulled off the win. Rotation and reduced intensity have been clear in recent weeks.

Reims was once a true powerhouse, claiming multiple league titles and twice reaching the final of the European Cup. Those days are long gone — their only recent continental appearance came in 2020, when they were quickly eliminated in Europa League qualifying. Last season they finished a respectable 9th, but this campaign has been a struggle. Despite multiple coaching changes, they hovered near the relegation zone for much of the year. By May, they looked resigned to survival via others’ failures rather than their own merits — they suffered straightforward defeats to both Nice and Saint-Étienne. A final-day loss to Lille left them 16th, sending them into a relegation playoff against Metz, with the first leg ending in a 1-1 draw. The Coupe de France has been a bright spot, though: Reims beat Monaco and overcame minnows like Cannes en route to this unlikely final.
Incredibly, Reims have managed to draw 5 of their last 6 meetings with the Parisian giants — including both clashes this season. This time, the gulf in class should finally show. Expect Luis Enrique’s men to win comfortably — back PSG with a -2 handicap.
Prediction for the match: PSG to win with -2.0 handicap.
