- In search of a final at the Stade de France, Losc stumbled on Tuesday on penalties in Lyon (2-2, 4-3 on tab).
- The content of this first semi-final of the Coupe de la Ligue reassured both Christophe Galtier, Victor Osimhen and Renato Sanches, in view of the second half of the season in L1.
At Parc OL,
Le Losc may not be condemned to sink all season far from its Pierre-Mauroy stadium. Presenting a disastrous record of four successes in 16 away games (including only one in Ligue 1 ... at Parc OL in December), José Fonte's partners this time showed in Lyon (2-2, 4-3 on shots) in goal) otherwise more solidity than in Toulouse (2-1), Monaco (5-1) and even Raon l'Etape (2-3). If the failures during the penalty shootout of Jonathan Bamba and Renato Sanches deprive the Mastiffs of the Stade de France on April 4, they consider rather encouraging this elimination in the semi-final of the League Cup.

"We played eye to eye with a good team from Lyon," said Renato Sanches, scorer of Lille's first goal in the Rhône. I am obviously disappointed for my failure, especially since I often train for penalties. But it happens, it's up to us to forget this moment because we cannot live in the past. "
"We will have to get up," says Christophe Galtier
Like the Portuguese international, Christophe Galtier delivered a positive message after the penalty shootout badly negotiated by his players: "I have nothing to reproach my players for, it was a total match against a still qualified team in the Champions League. They were very invested in determination and desire, but also in the game plan developed. The locker room is sad, you will have to get up. "
🎙 Victor Osimhen: “We really fought, I think the penalty shootout is a matter of luck, we are eliminated and it hurts. "
"The team gave everything and I think we also deserved to prevail [...] we have to keep working. »Pic.twitter.com/CHM80M1fVu
Renato Sanches, who confirmed "being in a good time" of his young career in France, should help him in this perspective, just like the inevitable scorer Victor Osimhen. Not decisive against Ciprian Tatarusanu, the Nigerian center-forward completes: “We really fought, I think that the penalty shootout is a story of luck. We are eliminated and it hurts. We deserved to win and go to the Stade de France. There is no doubt that the former Charleroi striker dreamed of inscribing the last “Mustache Cup” in history as the first line of his prize list among the pros.
