It'll be the 106th competitive meeting between the two since 1970 with 31 wins, 28 draws and 46 defeats for the Parisians. Only Bordeaux (108) have played the Rouge-et-Bleu more times.

Paris Saint-Germain are going to play their seventh successive Coupe de France final, an achievement unprecedented across the domestic cup competitions in Europe's major leagues (England, Germany, Spain, France and Italy). FC Barcelona played six consecutive Spanish cup finals between 2014 and 2019.

It's the club's 244th Coupe de France tie. The record so far: 173 wins, 29 draws, 41 defeats, a win-ratio of 71%

N.B. a penalty shoot-out victory or defeat is considered as a draw.

It's a record-equalling 19th final appearance in 51 seasons of the competition. 

It's the club's 32nd final (18 Coupe de France, 10 Coupe de la Ligue, 2 European competitions) with 23 successes and eight defeats so far.

N.B. a penalty shoot-out defeat is considered as a draw.

KEYS TO THE MATCH...

Paris Saint-Germain have scored in each of their last 51 Coupe de France ties since losing the final to Lille (0-1) on 14 May 2011.

Mbappé has scored six times in the competition this season, and is already in the club's all-time top 10. The record for a single Coupe de France campaign is held by François M’Pelé (10 goals, but with 10 matches home and away). The best since the competition moved exclusively to knockout ties is seven by Guillaume Hoarau (2010/11), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (2015/16), Angel Di Maria (2017/18) and Pablo Sarabia (2019/20).

Angel Di Maria now has 103 assists in competitive games for the club, equalling the record of Safet Susic (1982-91), and could move into top spot in the all-time list.
