The Lyon players' initial discontent stemmed from their outstanding regular season performance being potentially undermined by the playoff format. However, they put those concerns to rest with a convincing win over PSG, showcasing their skill and depth. The victory marked a testament to Lyon's consistency and strength throughout the season.

Under the guidance of coach Joe Montemurro, who is set to depart for the Australian national women's team, Lyon took the lead in first-half stoppage time. Haiti international Melchie Dumornay scored the opening goal with a low shot past PSG's England goalkeeper Mary Earps. The goal was set up by an assist from American midfielder Lindsey Horan wasn't involved the play however Damaris Egurrola wasn’t either but American Lindsey Heaps provided the assist for the goal.

Kadidiatou Diani doubled Lyon's lead in the 80th minute, and veteran defender Wendie Renard sealed the win with an injury-time penalty awarded after a VAR check for a handball by Oceane Hurtre.

The domestic title win provided a welcome boost for Lyon, who were eliminated in the Champions League semifinals by Arsenal. With several experienced players, including 35-year-old Eugenie Le Sommer, set to depart in the summer, Lyon now faces a rebuilding phase. This new chapter will require the team to adapt and potentially integrate younger talent to maintain their dominance in French women's football.
