European week begins for French clubs still engaged in the Champions League and the Europa League. While PSG receives Aston Villa in the quarterfinals of the C1 on Wednesday evening, Olympique Lyonnais will face Manchester United Thursday in the quarter -round of the C3, on its lawn of Groupama Stadium. And we can say that the match is already launched!
Reds Devils' goalkeeper Andre Onana made a surprising statement before the meeting. In remarks relayed by the Manchester Evening Newsthe Cameroonian was confident and said that Manchester United was much stronger than OL: “I think we are much better than them, we just have to go there and show who we are. »»
A declaration full of insurance while Manchester United is only ranked 13th in the Premier League. This season, the English club has conceded a total of 41 goals. Rather worrying. But the porter of the MUFC then indicated that the most important for the Reds Devils was to focus on their team: “We know some of the players who make up their team, but I don't think we have to focus on them. Rather, this is us, what we are going to do. »»
OL private of several of its players
To face Manchester United, Olympique Lyonnais will be weakened and will have to do without several of its players. Malick Fofana, injured in the knee since March, should not be in the group on Thursday. The other big blow for OL concerns Ernest Nuamah, victim of an injury to the anterior cross ligament of the left knee.
Paulo Fonseca will then have to find solutions for his offensive animation. As a reminder, the Ol-Manchester United meeting will take place this Thursday, April 10 at 9 p.m. Thursday.
