PSG eye more silverware in French Cup ahead of CL final

Paris Saint-Germain step up their preparations for the Champions League final against Inter Milan as Luis Enrique’s side take on rank outsiders Reims in Saturday’s French Cup final, a showpiece occasion which is not the priority for either participant.

Winning European club football's biggest prize has been the number one aim for PSG since the takeover of the club by Qatar Sports Investments almost 15 years ago.

Everything else is secondary in comparison and especially now that they stand just 90 minutes away from lifting the Champions League trophy for the very first time.

However, Luis Enrique knows that retaining the French Cup and thereby completing a clean sweep of the domestic honours can only boost confidence ahead of the clash with Inter at Munich's Allianz Arena on May 31.

"Honestly my focus is on both matches, the French Cup final and the Champions League,” the Spanish coach insisted this week during a press conference at PSG's training base which was organised with the latter event in mind.

“The best thing is that there is nothing special for us to prepare. We have got this far by playing our football and now it is all about revealing the full force of that.”
