PSG are dominating Ligue 1 as they usually do every year, but the Coupe de France is another French tournament where they are also big favorites to win.

PSG have a total of 14 Coupe de France titles, but Marseille is the second French team with the most titles with a total of 10 titles but their most recent winning 1-0 against Rennes in what was a tough and tight game.
