Mbappe scored one goal and set up the other as Paris Saint-Germain stayed on course for a domestic double by beating Monaco 2-0 to retain the French Cup.

Mauro Icardi put Mauricio Pochettino’s side ahead after 19 minutes, slotting in from Kylian Mbappe’s pass after he had pounced on a defensive error.

The Paris Saint-Germain striker showed his amazing pace and trickery as he effortlessly flew past the whole Monaco team.

A Monaco corner fell to Mbappe on his own six-yard box early on but, rather than hoofing the ball clear, Mbappe looked up and set off on a mazy solo run, beating Monaco players before finding a Icardi with a perfect cross-field pass.

Mbappe then sealed victory with a delightful chipped finish nine minutes from the end.

It is PSG’s second trophy under former Tottenham boss Pochettino, following the Trophee des Champions in January.
