A small cloud came to tarnish the Parisian sky this Wednesday evening after Paris Saint-Germain qualified for the Coupe de France final. If Luis Enrique’s players defeated Stade Rennais at the Parc des Princes (1-0), Warren Zaire-Emery is worried. The midfielder was injured in the 76th minute, after taking a crutch from Désiré Doué in the first period.

At a press conference, Luis Enrique was not too worried: “It’s just a blow, nothing serious. There will be no problem for the upcoming matches. »

Replaced by Manuel Ugarte, the French international sat on the bench with ice packs on his right calf and left thigh. The Parisian gem alerted the staff of the discomfort felt, even though his exit was already planned in any case.

Earlier in the match, Kylian Mbappé scored the only goal of this semi-final, with a shot blocked by Warmed Omari (40th). The captain of the French team had previously come up against Steve Mandanda twice, first during a face-to-face, then on a penalty.

Thanks to this success against Stade Rennais, Paris Saint-Germain qualifies for its first Coupe de France final since 2021, the year of its last title against AS Monaco. On May 25, Luis Enrique’s team will travel to the Pierre-Mauroy stadium in Villeneuve-d’Ascq to face Olympique Lyonnais, who qualified this Tuesday against Valenciennes.
