Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain claimed an historic quadruple trophy haul on Saturday by beating Auxerre 1-0 to win the French Cup title. Edinson Cavani's header after 64 minutes sealed another title for the Parisian club who had already won the Ligue 1 crown along with the Champions' Trophy and the League Cup - the three other trophies possible in French football.
The French Cup was the only domestic title missing from PSG's cabinet since they were taken over by their big-spending Qatari owners in 2011. "We had a great, great season. What we managed to do is unique. We play at PSG to live such moments," midfielder Blaise Matuidi said. PSG rounded off their season in a memorable fashion with their first French Cup since 2010 but it wasn't as easy as expected for one of the richest clubs in world football. On their march to the Stade de France, PSG beat Ligue 1 rivals Montpellier, Bordeaux, Nantes, Monaco and Saint-Etienne. PSG's victory means that Bordeaux, who were sixth in the league, now qualify for the Europa League, while Ligue 1 runners-up Lyon will play in the next Champions' Trophy.
