The clash of the 12th round of Ligue 1 took place this Sunday evening between Olympique Lyonnais and Paris Saint-Germain. And despite a team weakened by injuries, the Red and Blues secured a last-minute victory with a score of 2-3. Ainsley Maitland-Niles, the Lyon midfielder, spoke to Ligue 1+ to reflect on this defeat in the final minutes of stoppage time:
Maitland-Niles: “I think if we were playing with 11 men, this wouldn’t happen to us.”
You had an exceptional second half, but at the end…
Yes, there’s disappointment. I think if we were playing with 11 men, this wouldn’t happen to us. This red card is a bit inexplicable for us.
You scored a magnificent goal.
Yes, it was just the moment. I wanted to keep moving forward, and it was the right thing to do. We’re disappointed.
