The previous mark for a club match in France was held by OL, already during a shock against PSG, in November 2019 with 30,661 spectators, in the Championship.
The PSG women's team, beaten 3-2 in the first leg in Lyon on Sunday, is playing its 10th match at the Parc des Princes and had already recorded its own record in the quarter-finals against Bayern Munich on March 30 (2-2 ), with 27,262 spectators.
This brand is largely exceeded for this meeting, with in particular several thousand ultra supporters of the Collectif ultras Paris (CUP), mobilized for the confrontation while he is reluctant to encourage the men's section in recent weeks to protest against the sports management, despite the title obtained in Ligue 1.
The Auteuil bend accompanied the arrival of the players with a red and blue tifo and smoke bombs, urging the players to "take (r) these colors to Turin", host of the final on May 21.
"I hope for a magical evening," PSG captain Grace Geyoro enthused on Friday.
"It warms our hearts to see that all these people came to support us."
"For us, it's a real motivation to play in front of such an audience. When you're a player, you dream of playing in front of large crowds. We're ready," said OL's Australian defender Ellie Carpenter.
During the Women's World Cup in 2019, the Parc des Princes had already welcomed 45,595 spectators during the quarter-final lost by Les Bleues against the United States (2-1), and 45,261 during the opening match against South Korea. South (4-0).
On French soil, the final of this World Cup-2019 between the United States and the Netherlands (2-0) brought together 57,900 spectators, at the Groupama stadium in Lyon.
These figures are still far from the world record for an official women's match, recorded on Friday April 22 at Camp Nou during the other C1 semi-final between Barcelona and Wolfsburg, with 91,648 spectators.
