Paris SG vs Lyon

PSG returned to the pitch last week in the French Cup final, immediately making doubles with the league in a 1-0 win against Saint Etienne. To decide the contest a goal by Neymar arrived in the first part of the game, inspired by one of the many accelerations of Mbappé. However, the good news for the Parisians ends here, because it was the French champion who injured his right ankle following the hard intervention of Perrin, who was then expelled. Former Monaco will have to stay away from the fields for three weeks, also missing the Champions League quarter-finals against Atalanta on 12 August.

For its part, Lyon had to resume slowly before training and then friendly matches to find the best physical condition after the stop at the official matches arrived at the beginning of March. And Rudi Garcia’s team played five matches overall, beating Nice 1-0 on July 4th and then losing 2-0 with the Glasgow Rangers on 16. In the last few days three more games, with a 2-1 success over Celtic from July 18, and then the two 3-2 in Gent and Antwerp on July 22 and 24.
