No Top 14 either, which means that it will be necessary to settle for football or league Cup: Monaco receives Marseille at 21 h 5. A little earlier, Lyon should quietly validate its qualification for quarterfinals of the Women's Champions League. The Lyonnaises receive Fortuna Hjörring (4:30 pm), which they beat 4-0 in the first leg.
