It is a big rant that Bertrand Latour pushed Sunday evening on the set of Canal Football Club. Known for his outspokenness, the sports journalist did not chew his words against Olympique Lyonnais who, according to him, does not properly deal with certain players, notably those trained at the club.
In recent years, two cases have particularly annoyed him among the Gones: that of Bradley Barcola, sold 45 million euros at PSG in 2023, and that of Georges Mikautadze, just transferred to Villarreal against 31 million euros. “” This Mikautadze transaction reveals the true face of clubs ”he denounces.
“What is a bit of a shame is that often the supporters are with the clubs and not with the players. When I see that Barcola, every time he returns to Lyon, he is insulted as it is not allowed because he went to a club that is objectively better than Lyon ”continues the Canal+sniper.

“And you see that when you are a child of the club, like Barcola or Mikautadze, we tell you: 'Crush yourself, we no longer need you, we need sorrel'. At the end, they decided to impose on a player who loves Lyon (Mikautadze) to leave “he deplores, the sale of the Georgian striker who made it possible to balance the accounts.
And conclude: “Barcola, he did not go to Saint-Etienne, he went to Paris which is 100 times better than Lyon. And the thanks is that you insult his mother every time he returns. It is still extravagant. Mikautadze wanted to stay and we said to him: 'It's very nice, we will give you a jersey but above all, go!'. This is the face of clubs. »»
