Marquinhos thinks Paris Saint-Germain's season will be "wasted" if they do not retain their Coupe de France title.
The Parisians coasted to the Ligue 1 crown with Strasbourg winning the Coupe de la Ligue and Manchester United knocking them out of the Champions League.
He said: "Yes, it will be a wasted season if we lose against Rennes
"We let the Champions League slide, the Coupe de la Ligue too. We can't lose Coupe de France.
"All finals are tough. Every final has its own story. We know the responsibility we have in this final.
"There were two objectives: Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France. It's very important. The final is in front of us. We'll see the situation afterwards, whether it is positive or negative. "To be favourite or not, it's the game that counts. We don't think about who's the favourite. Each team has 50 per cent chance of winning."
