French Ligue 1 – Round 33
Champions League football is on the line for Lyon
Nantes puts a dent into Lyon’s hope of getting a direct qualification to the Champions League. A 2-1 defeat to Nantes meant Lyon hasn’t found a win since losing the Coupe de France final to Rennes.

PSG has failed to win the league title in 3 attempts. 
Can Paris St. Germain finally get the job done when they welcome Monaco on Sunday?
Should Lille win at Toulouse this weekend, Paris St. Germain will have no choice but to win their game against Monaco. A third defeat in a row will raise a lot of questions about Paris St. Germain’s strength and their progress in the world of football.
