Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) face a stern test of their Coupe de France credentials as they prepare to take on a rejuvenated Lyon in Saturday's final. Aiming to secure a domestic double, PSG will need to overcome a Lyon side that has remarkably secured Europa League qualification and could spoil Kylian Mbappe's farewell party.

Lyon's season has been a tale of two halves. After a dismal start saw them flirting with relegation, Pierre Sage's managerial magic turned their fortunes around. Lyon finished the season in impressive fashion, securing a top-six finish and a spot in the Europa League by accruing 40 points in the last 18 matches—more than any other team in the second half of the season.

Their recent form in the Coupe de France has been equally impressive, with wins over Ligue 1 sides Lille and Strasbourg, as well as lower-league clubs Pontarlier, Bergerac, and Valenciennes. This run has taken Lyon to their ninth Coupe de France final, with their last triumph coming in the 2011-12 season.

PSG, on the other hand, are aiming to extend their record with a 15th Coupe de France title. Despite their dominance in French football, they haven't won the cup since 2021 and have been knocked out in the last 16 in the past two seasons. Having already retained their Ligue 1 title, Luis Enrique's men will be keen to add another trophy to their cabinet.

Lyon will have Alexandre Lacazette available despite his yellow card suspension carrying over to the next season. With no fresh injury concerns, Sage has a full squad at his disposal. His main decision will be choosing between goalkeepers Anthony Lopes and Lucas Perri, with Perri having impressed in recent matches.

For PSG, Kylian Mbappe is set to return after being rested in their final Ligue 1 game. Other key players like Gianluigi Donnarumma, Fabian Ruiz, Vitinha, Ousmane Dembele, and Marquinhos are also expected to be back. However, Lucas Hernandez (ACL), Sergio Rico (head), and Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles) are sidelined.

While Lyon's resurgence under Sage will make them tough opponents, PSG's rested stars and greater overall quality should see them secure the win.

巴黎圣日耳曼(PSG)将在周六的决赛中迎战重整旗鼓的里昂，这将对他们的法国杯资格进行严峻的考验。为了确保国内双冠王，巴黎圣日耳曼需要战胜里昂，后者已经获得了欧联杯资格，可能会破坏姆巴佩的告别派对。

里昂的这个赛季是一个一分为二的故事。在糟糕的开局让他们差点降级之后，皮埃尔·塞奇的管理魔法扭转了他们的命运。里昂以令人印象深刻的方式结束了这个赛季，在过去的18场比赛中获得了40分，确保了前六名的成绩，并获得了一个欧联杯的席位，这是赛季后半段比其他任何球队都要多的成绩。

他们最近在法国杯的表现同样令人印象深刻，战胜了法甲的里尔和斯特拉斯堡，以及低级别联赛的庞塔利埃、贝热拉克和瓦朗谢纳。这是里昂第九次进入法国杯决赛，上一次夺冠是在2011-12赛季。

另一方面，巴黎圣日耳曼的目标是扩大他们的记录，第15次获得法国杯冠军。尽管他们在法国足坛占据统治地位，但自2021年以来他们就没有赢得过杯赛冠军，而且在过去的两个赛季中，他们都在16强中被淘汰出局。在卫冕法甲冠军之后，路易斯·恩里克的队员们将渴望在他们的内阁中再添一座奖杯。

里昂将有拉卡泽特上场，尽管他的黄牌禁赛将延续到下个赛季。没有新的伤病问题，萨奇有一个完整的阵容供他支配。他的主要决定将是在安东尼·洛佩斯和卢卡斯·佩里之间做出选择，佩里在最近的比赛中表现出色。

对于巴黎圣日耳曼来说，基利安·姆巴佩在最后一场法甲比赛中休息后将回归。其他关键球员，如多纳鲁马、鲁伊斯、维塔尼亚、登贝莱和马奎诺斯也有望回归。然而，卢卡斯·埃尔南德斯(前交叉韧带)、塞尔吉奥·里科(头部)和普雷斯内尔·金彭贝(跟腱)将缺阵。

虽然里昂在萨奇的带领下东山再起将使他们成为强大的对手，但巴黎圣日耳曼休息的球星和更强的整体实力应该会让他们确保胜利。
