PSG would claim the championship for the eighth time — and draw to within two of the record held by Saint-Etienne — with a win at the Parc des Princes if Lille slip up away to Reims. Marquinhos became the latest high-profile PSG injury casualty during Wednesday’s 3-0 semi-final defeat of Nantes, joining Neymar, Edinson Cavani and Angel Di Maria on the sidelines.
Lyon are third, four points back with eight games left, but the focus this week has centred on the future of manager Bruno Genesio, who is out of contract in June.Tuesday’s 3-2 loss at home to Rennes in the French Cup prompted club president Jean-Michel Aulas to shelve a two-year extension for Genesio, whose side host bottom side Dijon on Saturday.
