Nice secured a 2–0 win away at Strasbourg in the French Cup semi-final and will face Lens in the final. Elye Wahi made the difference with a brace. Initially dominated by a Strasbourg side sitting eighth in Ligue 1, Nice, 15th, remained defensively solid and clinically efficient in attack. They will return to the Stade de France on May 22, four years after losing their previous final to Nantes (1–0).

RC Lens qualified for their first French Cup final since 1998 by defeating Toulouse (4-1) in a lopsided game.

Frenchman Victor Wembanyama has become the youngest Defensive Player of the Year in NBA history, and the first to win the award unanimously.

Paris Saint-Germain lost (2-1) to Lyon and now see Lens closing in on them at the top of the Ligue 1 table. Lyon can still hope to qualify directly for the Champions League.

Lens came back from 2-0 down to claim a crucial home win over Toulouse on Friday night. The title-chasers are now just one point adrift of PSG, who have two games in hand.

A two-goal deficit was overcome by Strasbourg, who, spurred on by their home crowd at the Meinau, thrashed Mainz to reach the semi-finals of the Europa Conference League. This is the first time the Alsatians have reached this stage of European competition. "We told ourselves that anything was possible," said Abdoul Ouattara, the Ivorian RC Strasbourg midfielder who scored the equaliser.
