I’m facing the best team in L1 over the last 10 days, which also qualified for the final of the Coupe de France.”

20:40 – Lyonnais’ plan to bring down PSG
Without revealing his tactical plan, Pierre Sage revealed the outlines of his game plan to keep the capital club in check: “We will try to defend as we want, that is to say by trying to have as little to defend as possible. And the best way to do that is to have the ball. We must take them into what they don’t like, and for that we will have to have collective control, it will be a tactical challenge for me and the staff, and operational for the players.”
20:35 – Sage, the providential man
Third coach of Olympique Lyonnais this season after Laurent Blanc and Fabio Grosso, Pierre Sage allowed the Rhone club to move up the Ligue 1 standings. During the first fourteen days of the championship, OL had taken seven points. Since the arrival of the coach, Lyon has gleaned 34 new units, allowing them to now appear in the fight for European places for this end of the season, unexpected after a cataclysmic start to the 2023/2024 financial year.

20:25 – The thorny case of Mbappé
Faced with the overloaded schedule for the end of the season, Paris Saint-Germain did not need a new controversy targeting its departing star, Kylian Mbappé. At the end of his contract on June 30, the striker should leave the capital club to join Real Madrid, according to numerous revelations from the national and international media. But last summer, the captain of the France team would have had another promise to its president, Nasser al-Khelaïfi.
Sidelined from the group at the start of the season for fear of seeing the striker go free at the end of the 2023/2024 season, the striker was finally reinstated on the eve of the first day of the championship. According to revelations from Foot Mercato, the native of Bondy would have promised his management to extend his contract so as not to leave freely. Information very quickly denied by journalist Bilel Ghazi, close to the Mbappé clan on his social networks. “Beyond your chain of false truths, what is embarrassing about this one is its timing which questions your motivation & that of those who are dictating to you and who regret/fear not to do the same well… PSG & its end of season deserve better than that…”did he declare.
