Sunday evening, PSG was not calm against OL (2-3). A team “very mature” according to Luis Enrique, who is a fan as he admitted at a press conference. “It’s a team that plays very well. They had a very good match. It was complicated for us. They have a lot of injuries, very important players. But it’s a real competitive team, which played three days ago (at Betis in the Europa League). We could see their fatigue. It’s complicated for everyone. But I like the way they play, the way they attack and defend.”
João Neves also recognized that Les Gones were difficult to maneuver. “OL are a great team. They give everything on the pitch for victory and to win in the championship. We were stronger in the match and we didn’t give up until the end. We know that the championship is very difficult. The teams are very strong and we cannot relax. I think it’s a demonstration of our work and our spirit.” Which perhaps made the difference, even if on the Lyon side we believe that the referee tipped the scales.
