If he thought that the returns of Paredes, Neymar, Meunier and Kurzawa in the starting eleven would give a little pep to PSG, Thomas Tuchel was wrong. In the absence, notably of Thiago Silva, Herrera, Choupo-Moting, injured, of Dagba in recovery phase, and of suspended Kimpembe, it is a very pale Parisian formation which nevertheless qualified for its sixth consecutive final of French Cup.
Navas: 6. The Costa Rican did not take a goal on Saturday against Dijon. It only took 11 minutes to fold on Terrier's cross-strike. But he prevented the Lyonnais from doubling the bet (31st) and ahead of Dembélé by clearing his fist (49th).
Meunier: 5. Despite his suspension for the second leg against Dortmund, Tuchel chose to restart him after two games on the bench. In lack of landmarks and rhythm, he did little offensively and suffered defensively. Warned (55th).
Kehrer: 5. Established in the position of right side during the last two outings, he found the right axis of defense. Uninspired in his reminders, he does the job defensively.
Marquinhos: 5.5. After two tenures in the middle, Tuchel returned the keys to the central hinge. The captain took care to play the last ramparts in a rearguard often caught failing.
Kurzawa: 4.5. His intercepted pass is behind the opening of the Lyon score. He catches up by leaving an arcade on the assist to Mbappé (14th). Warned (30th) for excess engagement, it is still too technically fair. Replaced by Bernat (81st)

Sarabia: 5. Not the best match of the Spaniard who did very little to break the lines and bring danger. However, he managed to score his fourteenth goal of the season, the seventh in the Cup with a low shot (82nd).
Paredes: 4. His last association with Gueye against Amiens (4-4) had not left any great memories. This is to be stored in the same department. If his mission was to slow down the game, he did it perfectly.
Gueye: 5. The only Parisian to start a fifth consecutive game, he did not spare himself in an uneasy midfield. Replaced by Verratti (64th), much more secure.
Neymar: 5. Back from suspension, he went through the first period with more than dubious involvement and technique. A single acceleration to offer cavani to Cavani (43rd). He saves the furniture and the face by scoring the penalty of the break (64th) and finding rhythm in the last half hour.
Mbappé: 8. The man of the match and the spark of this PSG on alternating current. He puts Paris afloat by equalizing at close range (14th), is at the origin of the action which brings the penalty of the break, scored his 28th goal of the season with a breakthrough don alone has the secret (70th) and completes his performance with a double (90th + 2). Aware (64th)
Cavani: 4. As often, he gave himself without counting to hinder Lyon's revivals. In vain. In the first, he places his only usable ball on the post (43). In the second he caused the penalty and the expulsion of Marçal (64th). Insufficient to really extinguish the competition with Icardi who replaced it (76th).
