This Friday, football makes its return to France with the final of the Coupe de France (9:10 p.m.) which will pit Paris Saint-Germain against Saint-Etienne for the first official post-confinement match.
At least 4 Africans should start this poster as holders. On the Paris side, Senegalese Gana Gueye starts off as a sure start in the midfield. Opposite, the Gabonese Denis Bouanga will be the main offensive asset of the Greens with the Franco-Ivorian Jean-Philippe Krasso, recruited this summer and prolific during the preparation matches. Algerian Ryad Boudebouz, who scored the qualifying goal for the final, is also expected to start at the expense of Tunisian Wahbi Khazri, expected on the bench.

Paris SG: Navas – Kehrer, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Kurzawa – Di Maria, Gueye, Verratti, Neymar – Icardi, Mbappé.
Saint Etienne : Moulin – Debuchy, Fofana, Perrin, Kolodziejczak – Camara, M’Vila – Hamouma, Boudebouz, Bouanga – Krasso.
