22:48 BST 31 July 2020As I said it's very nearly midnight in Paris - who will be the hero and the villain in this shootout?

Neymar takes it - WAY over the bar. A waste.

Neymar will have a free-kick right on the 18-yard line to prevent us going to pens...

Late drama!
Neymar sends Angel di Maria in on goal, Rafael slides in and takes him out just outside the area.
It's a red card!

Bertrand Traore runs needlessly offside. PSG kick the ball clean out of play. Make it stop.

Chance! Ahhhhhhhh!
Maxwel Cornet is unmarked at the far post yet again for Lyon, that's at least three times, and again he balloons it over the bar.

Why not, why not indeed? Thiago Mendes hits a big swerving drive from 25 yards but it's never on target.

A five-yard pass is beyond most of the players at the moment never mind a goal. War of attrition stuff. They are all struggling.

Filth, pure filth. Bertrand Traore knocks it past Leandro Paredes on halfway and would motor clear but the PSG midfielder just slides in and takes the striker out at the thighs.
So cynical.
GREAT SAVE!published at 96 mins

Here we go! That was very nearly the breakthrough as Angel di Maria hits a scudding low shot from range that Anthony Lopes has to save, and save really well.
Lyon come straight down the other end and Bertrand Traore's shot deflects narrowly wide.
Much more like it.

Maxwel Cornet has a shot charged down as Lyon force an early corner. Any signs of life in the final? Marquinhos is booked.

22:10 BST 31 July 2020This is very possibly the most pointless period of extra time ever. A cup final that was meant to be played in April but has been resurrected despite the French season being cancelled, for a competition that has already been scrapped from next campaign as it's a waste of time.

Boooooooo.
Neymar looks as miffed as I am about this. We will have extra-time and maybe even penalties.
