The 2011 Coupe de France final was the 93rd

final of France's most prestigious football cup competition. The final took place on 14 May 2011 at the Stade de France in Saint-Denis and was contested between Paris Saint-Germain and Lille.[1][2] Paris Saint-Germain were the defending champions of the competition and it was the third time in the club's history that it had appeared in back-to-back finals. The winner of the Coupe de France is guaranteed a place in the playoff round of the UEFA Europa League with the club's appearance being dependent on whether it qualifies for the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League. The final was broadcast live on France 2
.

Lille defeated the defending champions Paris Saint-Germain 1–0 in the 2011 Coupe de France Final courtesy of a late second half goal from Ludovic Obraniak to win the Coupe de France title.[3][4] This was the club's first domestic trophy since winning the Coupe de France 56 years earlier. Later that month, Lille completed the domestic double by winning the Ligue 1 title.

Team backgrounds

Paris Saint-Germain appeared in its 12th Coupe de France final match, second only to

2010 final.[5] Paris Saint-Germain has won the Coupe de France eight times, second in history behind Marseille, and appeared in back-to-back final matches for the third time. The club's first consecutive appearances in the final came in 1982–1983 when it won consecutive cups defeating Saint-Étienne and Nantes, respectively.[6][7] The second occurrence transpired in 2003–2004 when Les Parisiens lost to Auxerre 2–1 before rebounding the following year defeating second division club Châteauroux 1–0.[8][9]

Lille made its eighth appearance in the final match of the Coupe de France and its first since

Stade Olympique Yves-du-Manoir in Colombes. Jean Vincent scored the opener and Yvon Douis and Gérard Bourbotte netted two each to give Lille its last major domestic honour.[11]

Ticketing

The Coupe de France final has been played every year at the

Stade Lille-Metropole, while Paris Saint-Germain distributed its tickets on the same day at the service area of the Parc des Princes, the club's home stadium.[12]
The Ligue Nord-Pas de Calais, whom Lille is representing, and the Ligue de Paris Ile-de-France de Football, whom Paris Saint-Germain is representing, only distributed tickets to local clubs within each league.

Picardy will serve as the fourth official.[16]

Paris Saint-Germain

Unlike Lille, who opened up the competition against amateur opposition, Paris Saint-Germain faced fellow

Stadium Municipal in Toulouse.[20] Agen officials balked at the idea stating the club's stadium had met all the guidelines and requirements of the federation. Despite appealing for a stadium change, PSG were denied after the federation ruled in favor of Agen on 19 January.[21] In the match, Saint-Germain opened the scoring through midfielder Mathieu Bodmer. Agen, surprisingly, equalized through Mamoudou Daffé just before half-time. Two minutes after the interval, the away side re-took the lead through Luyindula and doubled its lead in the 50th minute after a goal from Hoarau. Despite Agen scoring in the 60th minute to close the lead to a goal, Les Rouge-et-Bleu were able to hold onto the 3–2 victory.[22]

In the Round of 16, Paris Saint-Germain faced another amateur club in

Mamadou Wague. The match, subsequently, went to extra time scoreless and Paris Saint-Germain were, remarkably, rescued by two of the club's academy players. Seventeen-year-old Jean-Christophe Bahebeck, who had made his professional debut in the Martigues match, opened the scoring in the 108th minute and 18-year-old Neeskens Kebano scored the second goal three minutes from time to give PSG a 2–0 extra time win.[24] In the semi-finals, Paris Saint-Germain faced the last club in the competition that wasn't playing in the first division, Angers. Paris Saint-Germain opened up the scoring in the 22nd minute through Bodmer following service from Nenê on the left side. Six minutes after half-time, Nenê was on the receiving end after scoring a left-footed strike. Angers midfielder Sébastien Renouard scored in the 57th minute to give the home side hope, however, three minutes later, the home team's dreams would be slashed following a goal from Hoarau, the striker's sixth goal in the competition. Paris Saint-Germain held onto the 3–1 scoreline until the death, which secured the club a place in the final match.[25]

Lille

Lille began its Coupe de France campaign away to amateur club

striker Moussa Sow and midfielder Florent Balmont for Lille and Omar Benzerga and Vincent Sasso for Nantes resulted in Lille entering the fourth set of shooters up 1–0. After two conversions each from both sides, Nantes midfielder Ronny Rodelin's shot was saved by goalkeeper Mickaël Landreau to allow Lille progression to the next round.[29]

In the quarter-finals, Lille faced fellow first division club Lorient at home. The match was closely contested and, despite Lorient playing with ten men for over an hour due to Bruno Ecuele Manga being sent off, both Lille and Lorient failed to get on the scoresheet, which resulted in a penalty shootout for the hosts for the second consecutive round. Unlike the previous shootout against Nantes, Lille converted all of its chances. An Arnold Mvuemba miss on Lorient's third shot gave Lille the advantage and, after Ludovic Obraniak converted his fourth shot for Lille, Hazard stepped up and converted his to send Lille to its first Coupe de France semi-final in over 25 years.[30] In the semi-finals, Lille traveled down south to the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region to face Nice. In the match, both teams failed to test each opposition's goalkeeper. Towards the end of the half, Lille were finally rewarding courtesy of an Hazard goal following a successful link up between the winger and midfielder Obraniak. Just minutes after half-time, Lille extended its lead through Gervinho. The away side has numerous opportunities to extend its lead, but each opportunity was either stymied by the opposition or wasted. Lille were still able to hold on to its 2–0 lead, which would be the final scoreline allowing the club to progress to its first Coupe de France final since 1955.[31]
