Lyon and Paris Saint-Germain renew hostilities in the latest instalment of Le Classique as they lock horns in the first leg of their Women's Champions League semi-final tie on Saturday, with derby bragging rights and a place in the final both at stake.
Lyon are the record holders of this competition, lifting the trophy eight times, while their Parisian rivals are dreaming of tasting success for the first time in their history.
The hosts made it to the Champions League semi-final after they saw off the challenge of Portuguese champions Benfica in the last eight, recording a comfortable 6-1 aggregate victory over the two legs.
PSG, meanwhile, recovered from opening their Champions League campaign with two straight group stage defeats to qualify for the knockout stage from a tricky group that contained Ajax, Bayern Munich and Roma.
Jocelyn Precheur's side then went on to claim a dominant 5-1 aggregate victory over Swedish side Hacken to set up this tie.
