Match overview
Paris Saint-Germain advanced to the Cup Winners’ Cup semi-finals with a 3–1 home victory over Parma, overturning the first-leg deficit.
Raí converted two penalties, and Loko added a goal in between, as PSG controlled the game despite Parma’s temporary equaliser from Melli.
The match was a defining performance for the French side, showcasing the leadership of Raí and the attacking efficiency of Loko and Dely Valdés.
Trivia
Raí’s brace from the penalty spot remains one of the most memorable performances by a PSG player in European competition.
This match marked the end of Parma’s two-year reign as Cup Winners’ Cup holders after their triumph in 1993 and strong run in 1994–95.
