Lyon coach Remi Garde has played down reports that Sunday's clash with Paris Saint-Germain will decide who wins Ligue 1 this season.
Lyon are three points above Sunday's opponents PSG ahead of the match and would go behind their rivals on goal-difference should they lose.
However, Garde has said that there is still a long way to go in the season.
"This is a very big and important game but it is not going to decide who are going to be champions of France," Team Talk quotes Garde as saying.
"It will not end for either team with a draw or defeat."
Lyon were held to a 1-1 draw by Nancy on Wednesday night.
