France’s last goal in a European final was back in 1996 🤯 | OneFootball

Will PSG put an end to almost 30 years of drought?

Paris Saint-Germain has a date with history this Saturday, May 31. Indeed, the Parisians face Inter Milan in the Champions League final.

This is PSG’s second Champions League final in its history, after losing 1-0 to Bayern Munich in 2020. A defeat without scoring a single goal, but... PSG is not the only club to have fallen in a final without finding the back of the net.

We remember Olympique de Marseille against Atlético Madrid in the Europa League in 2018 (3-0). Also Monaco against José Mourinho’s Porto in 2004, in the Champions League final (3-0).

The same goes for OM against Parma (1999, 3-0) or PSG against Barcelona (1997, 1-0).

No matter how many European finals by French clubs we list in recent years, the result is the same: no goals.

To see a goal by a French club in a European cup final, you have to go back... to May 15, 1996! Bayern Munich faced Bordeaux and won 6-1 over two legs in the UEFA Cup final. Daniel Dutuel was Bordeaux’s only scorer.

Will PSG put an end to 29 years of drought tonight?
