Cooking with intention

It was a rose-tinted spectacle in the final of the Coupe de France as Toulouse beat Nantes 5-1. In the league, Monaco were taken apart at home by Montpellier, and PSG lost at home to Lorient in a game featuring probably the weirdest goal of the season. Angers are officially down, and Ajaccio and Troyes are adrift, but there is still some jeopardy as several teams - including Nantes - are battling to avoid the fourth and final relegation spot. Kris, Jez and Phil round up all the action.

A Verratti of Things

Well, I guess that's why they call it Les Bleues. There's chaos surrounding the French Women's team, and the FFF, in the run-up to the World Cup. On the pitch, there was a cardless Classique which saw Mbappe and Messi in magical form as PSG beat OM 3-0. Nice won the Derby du Sud by the same margin at Monaco as their impressive run of form continues. There were a bad set of results in the Europa League, Dejan Lovren helping Angers out on the scoring front, and the relegation battle continuing to ...
