A shock, an opportunity and a message sent. This Sunday, Olympique Lyonnais did not miss their chance. Traveling to Paris Saint-Germain, Les Gones carried out a huge operation by winning 1-2. Ultra-efficient, the Lyonnais took the match by the throat with Endrick’s quick opening score in the 6th minute, before Afonso Moreira doubled the lead (18th). Behind, Paulo Fonseca’s men delivered a very high level defensive performance, carried by a solid Greif in the cages, to thwart the Parisians who had been helpless for a long time. Despite Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s late score reduction (90th+4), Paris never managed to reverse the trend. A victory of character which completely revives Lyon in the race for the Champions League and which obviously caused a reaction on social networks.
