Why yes, I will take this excuse to watch the ageless Claude Makelele play. While not a proper derby, PSG vs. Lyon is considered to be rivalry by some, and at worst, it’s an important game between two big teams. It seems like it’s been a very long time since PSG has been relevant on the international stage, but they currently sit just four points outside of the final Champions League qualification spot, currently occupied by the team they’re playing tonight. So, it’s a massive game.
PSG Vs. Lyon: Lineups
The contrasting styles should make this match interesting, as PSG will likely be a more direct side. The line is lead by their true No. 9 Guillaume Hoarau, while their midfield is anchored by the aforementioned legendary holder, Makelele. Lyon play with a front three of Bafetimbi Gomis, Lisandro Lopez, and Jimmy Briand, while their notable bench players include Cesar Delgado, Ederson, Miralem Pjanic, and Cris, who have not been selected for the match. Here are your lineups.
Paris St. Germain Lineup (4-4-2): Coupet; Armand, Sahko, Camara, Ceara; Chantome, Jallet, Makelele, Nene; Erdinc, Hoarau
Olympique Lyonnais Lineup (4-3-3): Lloris; Cissokho, Toulalan, Lovren, Reveillere; Gonalons, Kallstrom, Gourcuff; Briand, Gomis, Lopez
