Olympique Lyonnais was able to bounce back against Stade Rennais (4-1) this Saturday in Ligue 1.
The Rhodanian club, which remained on two consecutive setbacks against AS Saint-Etienne (2-1) and Manchester United (4-5 AP, 2-2 in the first leg) in the quarter-final return of the Europa League, was keen to revive.
For the men of Paulo Fonseca, including Rayan Cherki, the copy rendered by the Gones is largely satisfactory. At the end of the meeting, the young attacking midfielder did not fail to underline the great reaction of his team.
“What doesn't kill us makes us stronger”
“It is clear that it could have been a match with a huge confidence, but we are happy with our performance. It is a widely deserved victory, we will have to continue on this momentum to grab a maximum of points given the classification. When we see the very complicated week that we have spent, the only desire we had was to go back to the lawn to show everyone that what does not kill us makes us stronger. It's done ”, said the 2024 Olympic vice-champion.
OL, 4ᵉ from the French championship, is still in the race for Europe. The Lyonnais have 54 points to three days of the term, to a unit of Olympique de Marseille and equally with the OGC Nice.
