Lyon and PSG will fight for the trophy in the French Cup final. And two seasons in a row, the Parisian superclub did not go further than 1/8 finals in this tournament. Now Luis Enrique’s team is determined to take the cup and add it to the victory in the championship.
In the semi-finals, PSG, in a pragmatic style, beat Rennes – 1:0. And Lyon surpassed the representative of Ligue 2 Valenciennes – 3:0. In general, this season, ‘weavers’ did not start in the best way, if not to say badly, but gradually the legendary club rectified the situation. Nevertheless, Lyon is not the favourite for the upcoming title match. Instead, they are a clear outsider.
Lyon has motivation on their side, as the club has been unable to reach the French Cup final for 11 years. During that time, the Parisians have won the tournament six times. Considering their resources, they could have done more.
However, with the arrival of Luis Enrique, the club has changed its development strategy – now the focus is on the development of young players. The Spanish specialist failed to lead the Parisians to victory in the Champions League in his first season, but triumph in Ligue 1 and the French Cup will be a great start to his career at PSG.
Lyon will put up a fight, but it will be hard to hold off the Parisians’ attacking line.
