Paris Saint-Germain cruised to yet another Coupe de la Ligue crown on Saturday, destroying Monaco 4-1 in the final in a dominant showing, with Edinson Cavani scoring twice.
It was the team’s fourth straight title in the competition, and what looked to be an even match entering was far from it as PSG proved it is still the class of France.
And it didn’t take long for PSG to get things rolling. Just four minutes in, Julian Draxler scored the opener.

But Monaco would respond off a golazo from Thomas Lemar on 27 minutes.
