PSG champion of France, no Grand Slam for Les Bleues, Rafael Nadal reassuring… The sports recap of the weekend
Happy Sunday for Parisians, unhappy for Parisiennes. While PSG players were crowned champions of France for the 12th time in the club’s history, Sunday April 28, the players of the capital club were eliminated in the semi-final of the Champions League by the Lyonnaises. Like them, the Blues of rugby experienced new disillusionment with their defeat in the “final” of the Six Nations Tournament on Saturday. Didn’t follow the results from the weekend? Franceinfo: sport summarizes the sports news of recent days.
The Parisians, held in check by Le Havre (3-3), did not manage to be titled in front of their audience on Saturday, but they were crowned all the same, three days before the end of the championship, from their sofa, thanks to the defeat of Monaco on Sunday in Lyon (3-2). This is PSG’s 12th French championship crown, the tenth of the Qatari era.
Less expected at the start of the season, the European place in Brest. The Bretons are assured of competing in a European Cup next season thanks to their victory in a crazy derby against Rennes (5-4) on Sunday. Long runners-up to PSG, the Brestois have been overtaken by Monaco in the standings, but the “Pirates” will still experience the first European campaign in their history and are, three days from the end, in a position to compete for the most beautiful cup of Europe, the Champions League.
It’s a poster that we are starting to know: on May 25, in Bilbao, Barcelona and Lyon will meet in the final of the Champions League for the third time, after the meetings in 2019 and 2022. Barça first qualified on Saturday, defeating Chelsea. Defeated in the first leg on a goal from Erin Cuthbert (0-1), the Catalans overturned the cumulative score at Stamford Bridge and validated their ticket to the final (2-0).
The second semi-final on Sunday pitted two French clubs, Paris and Lyon, with an advantage for the second, winner of the first leg after six explosive minutes (3-2). At the Parc des Princes, OL struck hard from the start with a goal from Selma Bacha in the third minute. In the end, it was with a score of 2 to 1, 5-3 in cumulative score, that the Lyonnaises validated their eleventh C1 final.
