Lyon and Strasbourg face each other this Tuesday evening in the quarter-final of the Coupe de France (8:45 p.m.). Here is all the essential information on this match.
After a spectacular recovery in Ligue 1, Olympique Lyonnais has not lost sight of its primary objective: the Coupe de France. For Pierre Sage and his men, this edition has a special flavor. It represents an unexpected opportunity to win a trophy, which would be a small feat for a club which has not added to its prize list for more than a decade. But it is also the shortest route to access Europe after a failed outward leg in the long stretches.
If OL takes on the role of favorite in a Groupama Stadium which promises to be full, Pierre Sage does not underestimate his opponent. “It’s a team that will have the opportunity to breathe a little in the Cup. It’s another competition. In any case, they have not withdrawn, we expect a team which will be very serious. It is up to us to annihilate their ambitions. I am wary of everything, but I also have confidence in what we are capable of doing. The dynamic of a team creates context in the locker room. Our dream is already to play the semi-final, for that we have to beat Strasbourg in front of our home crowd. We must prepare for this match seriously. » The Gones have been warned.
