From our special correspondent in Lisbon,
Olympique Lyonnais strongly believes in it. Not that the Lyonnais are not afraid of Manchester City, it's even the opposite, but their qualification in Turin against Juventus and before that their good League Cup final against PSG has consolidated them in their good form. from the moment. On top of that, it turns out that Lyon have references and not the least against City of Guardiola. In the group stage of this same C1, they had won in England before holding a draw at home. It was certainly under Pep Génésio, but that does not change much in the minds of the players. Houssem Aouar intends to use it:
“These confrontations help us mentally. We tell ourselves that we have already done it. But today everything is different. »Rudi Garcia joins his player. “It was wonderful what they did at that time. Now it's a different time, and a knockout game. It shows that no game is lost in advance. One of the keys is to exist with the ball and to score. We are a team capable of doing that. "
A format that favors the outsider?
If the Bayern Munich anomaly is an exception to the rule, the match between PSG and Atalanta shows that the Final 8 formula leaves a little more room for a feat. Rudi Garcia is aware of this. “Over two games, it's harder to achieve the feat, even if we showed it against Juventus. I hope that in a game there are more possibilities for us to pass. "
