PSG vs Lyon LIVE: Women’s Champions League semi-final build-up and team news

A reminder of how to watch today’s game as we approach kick-off.

Here’s everything you need to know ahead of the Women’s Champions League semi-finals.

Barcelona were then awarded a late penalty when Aitana Bonmati was brought down by a combination of Jess Carter and Ashley Lawrence – a decision Hayes said was “equally soft” – and Fridolina Rolfo converted to send Barcelona through to the Bilbao final and a shot at a third title in four years.

A reminder that the winner of today’s tie will face Barcelona in the final in Bilbao on 25 May.

The Catalan side scraped through in a controversial second leg against Chelsea yesterday, with a second yellow for Buchanan and a penalty decision among the contentious calls that helped to put Emma Hayes’ side out of the competition in her final season.

The two sides have a storied past in this competition, having met 11 times.

The most notable meeting between the two sides in this competition was the 2016/17 final, where Lyon won 7-6 on penalties. Most recently, Lyon won 5-3 in the 2021/22 semi-finals.

Lyon have won seven of the matches in total, while PSG have won two and two have ended as draws.

PSG have only progressed in two of the six ties between the two clubs, having won in the round of 16 in 2014/15 and the quarter-finals in 2020/21.

In the league this season, Lyon won away in Paris while the two sides drew in southern France.

Both sides have played since last week’s first leg, with PSG facing off against local rivals Paris FC.

They laboured to a 1-1 draw, while Lyon beat Guingamp 2-1 to extend their lead at the top of the league to 11 points.

For Lyon, Sonia Bompastor has made two changes to the side that completed that dramatic comeback last week.

In defence, Vanessa Gilles comes in for Griedge Mbock Bathy, while in attack, Danielle van de Donk replaces Vicki Becho.

For the home side, coach Jocelyn Prêcheur makes one change to the side that lost 3-2 in Lyon. Thiniba Samoura comes into a five-at-the-back in place of Korbin Albert.

LYON XI: Endler; Carpenter, Gilles, Renard, Bacha; Horan, Damaris Egurrola, Dumornay; Diani, van de Donk, Cascarino

SUBS: Belhadj, Benkarth, Marques, Morroni, Sombath, Sylla, Marozsan, Mendy, Becho, Mari.

PSG are without Clare Hunt and Oriane Jean-Françoic. Marie-Antoinette Katoto is PSG’s top scorer in the Champions League and is one goal behind Kadidiatou Diani, who leads the tournament with eight so far.

Lyon were already without Eugenie Le Sommer, but Frances’s record scorer has been joined on the sidelines by Sara Dabritz. Ada Hegerberg is a doubt after sitting out the first leg last week, as is Dzsenifer Marozsan.
