  • Winner of their Parisian rival (1-0) on Wednesday, OL opened the way to a new Champions League final on Sunday (8 p.m.) in San Sebastian (Spain) against Wolfsburg.
  • The partners of Wendie Renard approach this final meeting of such a special season with the ambition of gleaning a fifth European Cup in a row.
  • This would be a feat only achieved by the Real Madrid men's team, from 1956 to 1960.

Before the semi-final of the Women's Champions League on Wednesday against PSG (1-0), Jean-Michel Aulas received the encouragement of a certain Florentino Perez. In three days, the boss of OL will perhaps allow his club to become the pendant, among women, of Real Madrid. Because a success in the final, Sunday (8 p.m.) in San Sebastián against Wolfsburg, would be synonymous with a series of five consecutive coronations (since 2016), as the Merengue once achieved, from 1956 to 1960.

"There is no team that has been able to dominate for so long," JMA rejoices. There, it was a snatch match but we were able to build the victory against a very good team. We will try to regenerate because this meeting was very tense. "

Despite the absences of four indisputable holders, Ada Hegerberg, Griedge Mbock, Amandine Henry, all injured, and Eugenie Le Sommer (entered in the 77th), Lyon was still able to tame PSG, thanks in particular to the summer recruitment of Sara Björk Gunnarsdottir and Sakina Karchaoui, tenured on Wednesday.

But also with an unrivaled experience of these hot end-of-season meetings. “My players made a perfect copy in terms of combativeness and I find that they are gaining strength, praises Lyon coach Jean-Luc Vasseur. On a daily basis, I feel a thirst for endless titles. Girls are always hungry for success, it's something awesome that I had never seen before. "

"We did violence to each other this evening"

A bulimia of trophies that has also been discovering from the inside for two months the former Montpellier side Sakina Karchaoui: “The team responded in a big match at high intensity. I'm proud to be part of this group and we have proven again that we are the best team in the world. “There remains a final march to confirm this domination, facing a German formation systematically faced during the last four seasons (two qualifications and two finals won).

"We did violence tonight and we will do everything to lift this cup," insists defender and captain Wendie Renard, who scored the only goal of the game on Wednesday, with yet another furious and decisive header. In his next text to Jean-Michel Aulas, Florentino Perez will perhaps split a comparison between Martinique and Sergio Ramos, who knows ...
