Sports Newspapers: 5 things you need to know this Sunday morning

Good morning! Here is today’s summary from Sports Newspapers:

  1. Paris Saint-Germain beat Lyon 2-1 in Saturday’s French Cup final as Kylian Mbappe capped his last appearance for the club with another piece of silverware. Mbappe was playing his final game for PSG before an expected move to Real Madrid but he was unable to add to his club-record tally of 256 goals with Ousmane Dembele and Fabian Ruiz scoring on the night.
  2. Manchester United on Saturday evening defeated their Premier League rivals Manchester City 2-1 to win this season’s FA Cup trophy. Goals from Alejandro Garnacho and Kobbie Mainoo gave Erik ten Hag’s the victory over Pep Guardiola’s men at Wembley Stadium.
  3. US golfer Grayson Murray has died at the age of 30, the PGA Tour has announced. The two-time winner on the tour had withdrawn from this week’s Charles Schwab Challenge event on Friday with illness, after playing 16 holes of his second round.
  4. Granit Xhaka scored the only goal as a 10-man Bayer Leverkusen beat Kaiserslautern 1-0 to lift the German Cup in Berlin on Saturday, winning the club’s first league-cup double. Crowned Bundesliga champions in mid-April, Leverkusen were made to fight hard against their second-division opponents, playing with a man down after Odilon Kossounou’s second yellow late in the first half.
  5. Barcelona retained the Women’s Champions League as goals from Aitana Bonmati and Alexia Putellas secured a 2-0 win over Lyon in Bilbao. Sonia Bompastor – who is expected to replace Emma Hayes as Chelsea manager – failed to clinch the send-off she had hoped for as Lyon, the record eight-time European champions, suffered defeat in a Champions League final for the first time in their history.
