The entire Paris Saint-Germain team, which reached the Champions League final for the first time, celebrated wildly, and the city of Paris was also in excitement.
However, Blanco only gave the team one day off to let everyone rest for a day, and then quickly returned to the team to start training and prepare for the next game.
Because, just three days after the second leg of the Champions League semi-final, the French Cup final will begin.
For Lu Wenbin, this is a game that must be won.
In order to complete the club's main mission and to meet the triple crown conditions for early termination of his contract with Paris Saint-Germain, he needs to win the French FA Cup.
If he fails to win this championship, Lu Wenbin will not be able to leave Paris Saint-Germain early and go to the Premier League.
At 8 p.m. on May 4th, the 2013/2014 French Football Cup final between Paris Saint-Germain and Rennes officially kicked off at the Stade de France.
One advantage for Paris Saint-Germain is that the Stade de France is located in Paris, so Paris Saint-Germain is playing at home.
Moreover, after this final, there will be the last three league games, and then the Champions League final on May 24.
With the league title already won and a season-long undefeated record gone, Paris Saint-Germain's main lineup can take a good 20-day rest after this final before facing the Champions League final.
Paris Saint-Germain can go all out in this French Cup match.
Rennes is different. Although it is currently ranked 15th, the points gap from the relegation zone is not far, and it has not yet successfully retained its position in the league.
It cannot be said that Rennes does not attach importance to this French Cup title. After all, it is also a championship honor and can qualify for the Europa League next season.
It can only be said that during the game, the players will always be subconsciously affected by the league's relegation, and cannot give their all like Paris Saint-Germain.
The accumulation of various situations has already determined the outcome of this game.
In the 5th minute, Lu Wenbin almost assisted Ibrahimovic to score, but Ibrahimovic's shot was just a hair's breadth away and slightly missed the post.
In the 9th minute, Rennes launched a counterattack and shot, which was also slightly off the goal, causing cheers from more than 10,000 Rennes fans.
However, just a few minutes later, it was the turn of the Paris Saint-Germain fans to really cheer.
In the 13th minute, after Lu Wenbin finally broke through, he was blocked by two Rennes defenders. He turned his back to the direction of attack and suddenly passed the ball with his heel, catching the two defenders off guard.
Cavani received a pass from Lu Wenbin in the penalty area, dribbled past the last defender who came up to steal the ball, and then shot low into the near corner.
Lu Wenbin assisted Cavani to score the first goal, and Paris Saint-Germain led Rennes 1-0.
With the goal, the game became much easier.
Paris Saint-Germain could defend calmly and patiently and organize attacks, while Rennes had to increase its offensive intensity, and then more gaps were revealed in the backcourt for Lu Wenbin to exploit.
In the 29th minute, Rennes' attack failed, and Matuidi intercepted the ball and launched a counterattack.
Matuidi passed the intercepted ball to Motta, who passed it to Lavezzi on the wing.
Lavezzi broke through the wing and made a cross. Ibrahimovic attracted the attention of two or three defenders in the penalty area, but he did not head the ball. Instead, he knocked the ball back to Lu Wenbin who was in the back row.
On the penalty area line, Lu Wenbin met the aerial ball that Ibrahimovic knocked back with his head, and volleyed the ball without stopping. The ball passed through Rennes' penalty area like a cannonball and flew into the goal along the right goal post.
Rennes goalkeeper Costil was out of reach and could only watch the ball go into the net.
Paris Saint-Germain 2-0 Rennes, although the first half has not ended yet, the victory has basically been secured.
In the next game, although Rennes wanted to fight hard, the huge gap in strength and mentality made it impossible for Rennes to compete with Paris Saint-Germain who was giving their all.
Lu Wenbin, in particular, not only played a huge role in the offense, but also used his superb positioning and defensive abilities to constantly assist in the defense and disrupt Rennes' counterattack.
Because Lu Wenbin is determined to win this championship.
By the 60th minute of the second half, Paris Saint-Germain was already leading Rennes 4-0, and no one believed that Rennes could turn the tables.
With a four-goal deficit, the entire Rennes team gave up.
Lu Wenbin sensed his opponent's emotional change and slowed down his attack.
After all, Paris Saint-Germain has a more important Champions League final and cannot push their opponents too much in this game.
Although Lu Wenbin's body is not easily injured, it would be very unprofitable for Lu Wenbin if Ryan got angry and hurt other teammates.
Lu Wenbin's own strength is naturally the best in the world, but football still requires teamwork. If his teammates don't perform well, Lu Wenbin alone may not be able to defeat Real Madrid.
You know, in the first round of the Champions League semi-finals, Paris Saint-Germain lost to Atletico Madrid with Lu Wenbin starting.
Facing Real Madrid, which has a stronger lineup, Lu Wenbin is not sure of winning.
If several teammates are injured by other teams before the game starts, such as Ibrahimovic, Matuidi and others, it will undoubtedly make it much more difficult for Paris Saint-Germain to win.
After Lu Wenbin controlled the tempo of the game and slowed down the offense, players and coaches on both sides felt the change in the atmosphere on the court.
The Rennes coach took the lead in making substitutions, saving his strength for the next three league games to fight for relegation.
After seeing Rennes give up the game on their own initiative, Blanco also started to make substitutions, replacing Silva, Motta and Cavani, and asked the substitutes to clearly convey the order to slow down the offensive rhythm to the field.
This time it was not Lu Wenbin's own decision, but the clear tactical instructions from the head coach, which made it even clearer.
In the last twenty to thirty minutes, the two sides were in a harmonious atmosphere and the game time reached the 90th minute.
Seeing that neither side wanted to fight for the ball, the referee didn't even give any extra time and blew the whistle to end the game.
When the whistle sounded at the end of the game, the entire Stade de France suddenly became boiling.
Blanco and other coaches, substitute players, team doctors and others on the sidelines rushed into the field and celebrated with Lu Wenbin and others on the field.
The Paris Saint-Germain fans in the stands also cheered loudly, clapping, screaming and jumping in celebration.
Paris Saint-Germain defeated Rennes 4-0 in the final and won the 2013/2014 French Football Cup.
So far, Paris Saint-Germain has won four championships this season, including the French Super Cup, French Ligue 1, French League Cup and French Football Association Cup, achieving the achievement of quadruple crown.
Paris Saint-Germain is only one Champions League trophy away from becoming the five-time champion and the first French Ligue 1 team to win three titles.
