Overview
- The final, played Friday in Paris, finished 3-1 to RC Lens with Florian Thauvin scoring in the 25th minute, Auguste Edouard adding a header in the 42nd, Hassane Coulibaly pulling one back for Nice in the 48th minute, and Romain Sima sealing the result in the 78th minute.
- Lens celebrated their first notable national trophy since 2006 and capped a season in which they finished second in Ligue 1.
- Nice’s defeat compounds a difficult campaign that left them third-from-bottom and now required to play a two-legged promotion/relegation playoff against AS Saint-Étienne to decide top-flight status.
- Reports recorded violent clashes between supporters in Paris before the match, raising fresh concerns about fan violence and public order at major French fixtures.
- Coverage contained a venue inconsistency, with some previews naming the Stade de France while match reports placed the final at the Parc des Princes, a discrepancy likely due to reporting or editorial error rather than any change to the result.
