Having ended a barren spell in front of goal with a penalty last weekend, Marseille striker Mason Greenwood will be keen to finish the season with a flourish. So will Rennes striker Esteban Lepaul, the league's top scorer. He has 20 goals and could beat Greenwood and Ousmane Dembélé's joint-best tally of 21 from last season. Lyon is hoping for a farewell flourish from Brazil forward Endrick, who plays the last game of his loan spell from Real Madrid, having netted eight goals in 20 games overall.
PSG will be missing right back Achraf Hakimi, who is still recovering from a thigh injury. Rennes goalkeeper Brice Samba and Paris FC defender Moustapha Mbow are both suspended.
Gaining a Champions League place is vital to Lyon, which remains steeped in debt and only narrowly avoided relegation to the second tier last summer on financial grounds. The club’s owner Eagle Football Group (EFG) announced a net loss of 186.5 million euros ($218.3 million) for the first half of the season. This is despite reducing the club's salary mass by 40% and player sales of 45.3 million euros — including rising star Rayan Cherki to Manchester City. “The financial situation remains critical,” EFG said. “Due to legacy exposures, write-downs on receivables from related parties, and the urgent need to secure a financing and restructuring solution.” Last July, Michele Kangtook over as president after John Textor's resignation. Textor became Lyon president four years ago after longstanding incumbent Jean-Michel Aulas sold to Eagle Football Holdings. A combination of Champions League revenue and a new buyer is paramount to offset further financial losses. \\\_ AP soccer:
