PARIS: Big-spending Monaco will end the season without a trophy after they lost 3-1 to Ligue 1 strugglers En Avant Guingamp after extra time in the French Cup semi-finals on Wednesday.

Mustapha Yatabare’s opener was cancelled out by Dimitar Berbatov as the match at a packed Stade du Roudourou finished 1-1 after 90 minutes.

But Guingamp substitute Fatih Atik and Mustapha Yatabare netted in the 112nd and 117th minutes respectively to set up a Brittany final against Stade Rennes, who beat Ligue 2 Angers 3-2 on Tuesday, at the Stade de France on May 3 in a rerun of the 2009 final, which a Guingamp side then in the second-tier won 2-1.

Monaco, who spent over 100 million euros ($138 million) on players during the close season, are out of the League Cup and lie second in Ligue 1, 10 points behind leaders Paris St Germain with five games left.
