From our special correspondent in Lisbon,
It can't end like this. No. We refuse. Certainly, the hope lasted only a quarter of an hour, but 15 minutes is long enough to leave us with a bitter taste after Lyon's elimination in the Champions League semi-final. So yes, the course is honorable and nobody failed to remind them after the match. But when you look Bayern Munich straight in the eye, better still, when you make them wobble one step away from the final, you can't settle for the red bib for the best fighter.
Rudi Garcia: “The disappointment dominates. We lacked success at the start of the match, the two biggest opportunities are for us. “The Lyon coach refers to Memphis Depay's failed face-to-face against Neuer and above all, above all, to Toko-Ekambi's strike on the right post of the German international. “We could have scored goals, me first, concedes the unhappy striker. Success was not on our side tonight, we missed opportunities and there was a great goalkeeper in front. The reality could have been different. At 1-0, it wouldn't have been the same game. Well maybe. We tried to imagine the rest of the meeting if Lyon had opened the scoring.
15th : Bayern behind is weak for the moment, very, very weak. Come on, you have to press there, it's time!
17th: THE TOKO-EKAMBIIIIIII BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT !!!!! Here it is the opening of the Lyon score. Perfectly launched in depth, the OL striker benefits from 32 favorable blocks, gets on his left foot and surprises Neuer in a mouse hole. Bayern is stunned, dear avg!
19th: Gnabry inherits a ball in the axis, he tries to gain speed but Caqueret stamps it and the Bavarian loses control of the ball.
21st: Bayern play very high and force OL to defend. If Lyon resists, there will be balloons behind the German defense.
23rd: Alphonso Davies !!! Ouuuh the Canadian makes Léo Dubois dance on his lane, he goes into the box but Jason Denayer puts him a stop to prevent him from crossing back for Lewandowski.
26th: Oh it's the highway behind the Bayern defense, Caqueret launches Depay, the Dutchman fixes and hits from the left, just next to it!
28th: The Bavarians are at a standstill, Thomas Müller is non-existent in front of Bruno Guimarães, as is Kimmich facing the immense Maxwel Cornet.
30th : The attendance figures have just fallen, there are 11 German spectators who have come to see OL play at the Alvalade estadio.
33rd: OH THE ALERT ON ANTHONY LOPES 'CAGE. Lewandowski inherits a six-meter ball and half fucks his recovery. Lopes catches the ball in two stages, fortunately because Gnabry was right behind.
36th: Thomas Tuchel eats his crutch in front of his television.
39th : Toko who eats Alaba in the 100m but Neuer comes out well in the libero position. Bayern Munich is in distress, ladies and gentlemen.
43rd : Very disappointing match for Robert Lewandowski who for the moment loses his revenge against his sworn enemy Marcelo.
45th: It's half-time in Lisbon, OL logically leads 1-0. After giving Guardiola a football lesson, Rudi Garcia fined Hansi Flick. Can't wait to read Raymond Domenech's react tweet.
46th: Come on, let's go
48th: 68% sterile possession for Bayern.
52nd: LOPES! Perisic went straight to the goal but his shot was too soft. The Portuguese closed the corner and reassured his camp.
56th : Marcelo's header from a corner !! Quiet for Neuer, but there is room for a break.
58th : Mendes replaces Guimarães, Dembele replaces Depay.
60th: TOKO-EKAMBIIIII THE DOUBLEEEE THAT MAYBE SEND OL IN THE FINAAALEEE !!!!! Unbelievable I am losing my vocal cordsaaaaaales. Caviar d'Aouar after a good recovery from Dembélé, and the OL striker deceives Neuer with the cold blood of a reptile. Lyon is only half an hour from joining PSG.
62nd : Immediate reaction from Flick. Coman replaces Perisic on the German side. Punished for missing his face-to-face with Lopes.
64th : Twice highlights at the start of both periods, and two goals, the shot is perfect. Defensively, it is still as serious and committed. Bayern cannot find a solution. Ah bah it is sure that it is not the Catalan strainers behind.
67th: Thomas Tuchel attacks his splint in his hotel room.
70th : 20 minutes to play ...
73rd: The festival of Prince Aouar on his left side but Cherki, who has just returned, fair his recovery while he was well served behind. He could have killed the match.
79th: Coutinhooooooo ah no it's okay, he is flagged offside. Goal denied. OL always have a break in advance.
81st : The French team which enters the Bavarian side, with Tolisso and Pavard. Rudi Garcia passes to two full-backs to densify the area of the second post.
84th : Aouar who tries 20 meters! Not easy to do, in the half-volley with little room to trigger. No problem for Neuer.
88th: LEWANDOWSKI START THE MATCH. Ouch, hey, hey, we could already feel him coming with Coutinho's alert five minutes earlier. We will have to keep qualifying until the end!
91st: THE MONSTERY TAP OF LOPES ON A DANGEROUS DEGUEULASTING STRIKE TO MULLER INTO THE SURFACE. OH HE SAVED IT WITH THE TIP OF THE FINGERS, IT WAS THE LAST OCCASE OF THE MATCH.
93rd: It's doneééééé Olympique Lyonnais is in the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain. The Farmers League on the roof of Europe. A French club will win in Lisbon, a fair backlash for the affront of Euro 2016.
Admit, it would have been mouthful, eh ...
