PSG secured a spot in the final of the Football League Cup with a hard-fought victory over Nantes (2-1) on Tuesday. This achievement holds special significance for the Parisian club, as it was their last chance to fulfill the objective set by their Qatari shareholders: winning a national cup alongside the championship this season.
Blaise Matuidi, expressing his joy after the match, highlighted the significance of reaching a cup final in his career. “Finally a final! We are very happy. It wasn’t easy, but we fought for it. The most important thing was to secure the win,” Matuidi explained, as reported by L’Equipe. Despite facing challenges during the game, Matuidi acknowledged the team’s unity and resilience, particularly praising Zlatan Ibrahimovic for his exceptional performance. “Ibra? What he does is genius… Hats off to him. He manages to make a team win single-handedly, he never gives up. We are really happy to have him, and I hope he will help us win in the final,” Matuidi added.
PSG’s victory in the League Cup comes after their disappointing elimination from the Coupe de France by Montpellier (2-1) two weeks ago. Despite this setback, PSG remains at the top of the championship table as they prepare to face their closest contender, Monaco, in an upcoming fixture on Sunday.
