Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) was crowned 2020 French Cup winners after shutting out Saint-Etienne in Friday's final. 

Brazilian superstar Neymar scored the only goal of the match in minute 14 at Stade de France.

Superstar Kylian Mbappe's shot was parried by Saint-Etienne goalkeeper Jessy Moulin but Neymar followed the rebound to find the net.

Mbappe was forced to leave the pitch in the first half after a sliding tackle by defender Loic Perrin.

After the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) view, Perrin was shown a red card, leaving Saint-Etienne down to 10 men.

The victory gave PSG the French Cup trophy for the 13th time.

French President Emmanuel Macron was in the stadium to watch the final.
