PSG return to training ahead of French Cup final — Paris St-Germain will resume their quest for the quadruple when they lock horns with St Etienne in the French Cup final on Friday in the first professional match in the country following a four-month hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The showpiece match will take place at the 80,000-capacity Stade de France in Paris but only 5,000 fans will be allowed to attend in line with government regulations to curb the spread of coronavirus which has upset St-Etienne followers.

PSG's Thiago Silva — PSG's Brazil defender Thiago Silva is chasing a fifth French Cup title that would put him in elite company alongside former PSG players Dominique Bathenay and Alain Roche plus ex-Lille defender Marceau Sommerlynck. "I don't really look at that kind of statistic. Despite those four that I've won, it's the next one that's always the most important," said Silva, whose eight-year stay at the Parc des Princes will draw to a close at the end of the season. "I've got two months left and you can be sure that I'm going to give it my all on the pitch to win as many titles as possible. There are three to play (for), and we're going to work to win them all."
