The clash of the 23rd day of Ligue 1 pitted Olympique Lyonnais against Paris Saint-Germain on Sunday evening. The atmosphere at Groupama Stadium was heated, with tensions between the two presidents over TV rights in the background. But when the final whistle blew, it was the Parisians who came out on top, 2-3 (video highlights Lyon/PSG), despite a fine finish from the Gones. Lyon coach Paulo Fonseca spoke to DAZN after the match about his regrets:
Fonseca: “PSG scored their third goal without really creating any chances”.
Any regrets?
We feel we could have had a different result. In the end, I think Donnarumma was decisive because we had 4/5 clear chances. I think we deserved a bit more than we got. That’s the way it is.
It was only the start of the second half that was complicated, because the first half was under control?
We defended very well. But with the ball it was difficult, PSG are a team that presses. We lost a lot of the ball. I think the team believed until the end, and we played very well in the last 30 minutes. The truth is that PSG scored their third goal without really creating any chances. We also saw the individual qualities of the players. I’m very optimistic after the match because we showed that we’re strong and that we’re progressing. We need to keep going like this.
Mikautadze, do you regret not bringing him on straight away?
He was good, and it’s true that the players who came back came back very well. It’s important to have players who can come in and change the game.
