Martin Terrier had a mixed evening during the trip to Villarreal on Thursday in the Europa League.
The joy was short-lived for Martin Terrier. Nine months after his serious knee injury, the Stade Rennais striker has certainly made his comeback to competition. But came into play at 81e minute, the former Lyonnais then missed a penalty in added time which would have allowed the Breton club to equalize.
Bruno Genesio’s men were left to concede the first defeat of their season and Martin Terrier inevitably suffered the blow. “Sorry guys”he wrote on X, formerly Twitter, after the meeting.
The Breton striker was also able to count on the support of his captain. “I think the ball was given to Martin to show him all the confidence we have in him, he’s been struggling for nine months. If only to thank him for everything he has done before and also to simply give him full confidence. I think it’s a nice gesture from the group. Unfortunately, he didn’t manage to make it happen but we don’t blame him, it’s the defeat of a group.”confided Benjamin Bourigeaud after the match.
