Olympique Lyonnais and Paris St Germain fans clashed on their way to the French Cup final, setting fire to two buses at a motorway service station and a toll booth, French media reported. The incidents took place about 100 kilometres away from Lille's Pierre-Mauroy stadium in northern France where the final is due to take place, RMC Sport reported on its website.

The local prefecture said police had "quickly put an end" to the clashes. In a post on X, it also confirmed buses had been damaged. "These are sporting events which should be about joy and sport, I condemn this violence with the greatest firmness," French President Emmanuel Macron, who is due to attend the final, told BFM TV.

"I hope things will go as normally as possible this evening," he added. PSG are aiming to end the season with a domestic treble by winning the French Cup, having already won the Ligue 1 title and clinched the French Super Cup in January.

Kylian Mbappe, PSG's all-time highest goalscorer, is also set to play his final match for the club on Saturday, ending a seven-year stay during which he helped them win the league six times.
