In a commanding display of dominance, OL Lyonnes took another giant step toward an unprecedented quadruple season by dismantling Paris Saint-Germain 4-1 in the women's French Cup final on Sunday. The victory at Stade du Hainaut in Valenciennes not only showcased Lyon's relentless pursuit of excellence but also extended their record as the competition's most decorated club with an 11th French Cup title.
The first half belonged to the electric duo of forward Jule Brand and striker Vicki Becho. Brand, in scintillating form, set up Becho twice with pinpoint deliveries, giving Lyon a comfortable lead going into the break. Melchie Dumornay and Lindsey Heaps added to the tally, ensuring the trophy would return to Lyon despite a late consolation goal from PSG substitute Merveille Kanjinga.
This triumph adds to Lyon's growing collection this season, following their 1-0 victory over PSG in March to claim the inaugural League Cup. The club now sets its sights on two more prestigious prizes: a record-extending 19th league title and a ninth Champions League crown, which would be the most by any women's team in history.
With coach Jonatan Giráldez at the helm, Lyon shows no signs of slowing down. Next up is a blockbuster Champions League final against Barcelona in Oslo on May 23—a clash that could define this team's legacy and complete a historic clean sweep of major silverware.
