Mbappe treble fires PSG into French Cup final

Kylian Mbappe hit a hat-trick as Paris SaintGermain cruised into the final of the French Cup with a thumping 5-1 win at Lyon on Wednesday.

The World Cup winner took his goal tally in all competitions to 30 during a win eased by Fernando Marcal being sent off just before Neymar put the French champions ahead in the 64th minute from the penalty spot.

Lyon ended a fivematch unbeaten run that included an impressive 1-0 win over Juventus in the Champions League and the weekend’s triumph over local rivals SaintEtienne. —
