The semi-final between Lyon and Paris SG could, if played with extra time and penalty shootout, end around midnight on Wednesday evening. Broadcast on France 2 and commented on our site, the poster for the last four of the Coupe de France at Groupama Stadium will start at a particularly late hour since the kick-off will be given at 9.10 p.m. This is also the case each time the public service retransmits a meeting. Lyon-OM in the quarterfinals, for example, started at 9:05 p.m. on February 12th.
The France Télévisions group did not wish to shake up its usual schedule of programs for this Lyon-Paris SG. The 8 p.m. diary will end at 8:35 p.m. and will be followed by the 138th episode of "Un si grand soleil", a series that will end twenty-five minutes later. France 2 will therefore take the air a few minutes before the start of the match at 9:00 p.m.
Thomas Tuchel unhappy with late hours
This late schedule may not please Thomas Tuchel a few days before the Champions League round of 16 return against Dortmund. The coach of Paris SG had complained about the kick-off given at 9:00 p.m. for the late match of the 15th day between the club of the capital and Monaco by thinking of the young viewers.
“For me, it's too late to play at 9 p.m. I can do coaching at 9 p.m. But I know a lot of young supporters in my daughters' school who cannot watch the Paris-Saint-Germain matches. They are big supporters of PSG, they are ten years old, eight years old, six years old, eleven years old ... they never watch a match, never never, because it is not possible, they have to sleep to go to school. 'school', had dropped at the time the German coach who would therefore sign with both hands to avoid a prolongation and an uncertain penalty shootout at Décines this Wednesday evening.
