The opposition standing in PSG's way for their fourth Coupe de France since 2011 has, in stark contrast, never been higher than the French third-tier and hold an annual budget of €2m (R29m), which effectively covers Neymar's wages for a grand total of 16 days.

Neymar has returned to the French capital after two months out with a foot injury and has completed gym work as he builds up his fitness levels.

As expected, Parisian juggernauts PSG ended Les Herbiers' incredible French Cup fairytale on Tuesday night, with the Ligue 1 side defeating their third-tier opponents via a modest 2-0 scoreline.

"He will be there to support us tomorrow at the Stade de France and I think he'll be happy", Silva told reporters at a press conference on Monday ahead of the game.

PSG have now won the Coupe de France four times in succession and a record 12 overall.

Now, as they prepare to face top-flight heavyweights in the form of the Ligue 1 champions, the burning question is: can they can pull off one of the biggest upset's in world football tonight?

They sold roughly 15,000 tickets for the final - which is approximately the population of Les Herbiers - and those supporters nearly had a dream start.

"Everyone wants to play this final in a full stadium".
