The win ensures Luis Enrique's side have a chance of winning a quadruple of trophies in 2024-25, with PSG 21 points clear at the top of the Ligue 1 table, while they're also in the quarter-final of the Champions League, have already won the French Super Cup and are now just one win away from Coupe de France glory.

PSG are among the most in-form teams across Europe's top five leagues and after thrashing Ligue 1 rivals Saint-Etienne 6-1 away from home over the weekend, they equalled AC Milan's record that has stood for over three decades.
