Champions in Defeat: PSG Lift Ligue 1 Trophy Despite Paris FC Derby Drama

Paris FC stunned Paris Saint-Germain 2-1 at Stade Jean Bouin in Ligue 1 Round 34, turning the game in the final minutes. Bradley Barcola opened for PSG on 50 minutes, but super-sub Alimami Gory smashed a late brace on 76 and 90+4 to swing the points across the city.
Gory’s impact off the bench
Introduced on 67 minutes, Alimami Gory needed just nine touches to change everything. He first leveled with a right‑footed finish on 76 minutes after a pass from Pierre Lees Melou. Then he popped up again at 90+4, finishing another right‑footed chance created by substitute Luca Koleosho.
It was explosive and efficient. Gory posted 3 shots on target from 3 attempts and earned a Sofascore Rating of 8.7. Paris FC’s late surge also brought two yellows in stoppage time, with Maxime López cautioned at 90+1 and Gory at 90+4.

PSG had the platform when Fabian Ruiz threaded a neat assist for Barcola at 50 minutes. They also controlled possession at 63% and completed 680 passes. But they finished with only 2 shots on target.
Ousmane Dembélé left injured on 27 minutes, prompting an early reshuffle. Luis Enrique turned to the bench on 58 minutes, yet PSG could not put the game away and were caught twice late.
