  • Launched on a good dynamic, especially thanks to the brilliant success in the derby (0-5) last Sunday, OL struggled to overcome the Girondins de Bordeaux on Friday.

  • Salvation came from Anthony Lopes, author of a key save against Rémi Oudin (78th), as well as from Léo Dubois, incredible scorer in added time.

  • Finally, is this a sign of the stars accompanying OL so far this season?

At Parc OL,

Among the endless list of clichés in football, we have a small weakness for "the luck of the champion".

Third in Ligue 1 at the start of their match against Bordeaux on Friday (2-1), OL were able to regain (temporarily) the position of leader of the championship.

And this not without some success, between the balls of 1-2 Girondins side, spoiled by Ui-jo Hwang and Rémi Oudin, and the goal “from elsewhere” (according to Laurent Koscielny) from Léo Dubois in added time.

What to allow the Lyonnais to believe (a little more) in a destiny of 8th title in Ligue 1, 13 years after the last season of reign, no?

"These are three points that in my opinion will count a lot, forecast Rudi Garcia .. This time, we did everything to get them [after the 0-1 setback against Metz on January 17].

"

"Sure we'll find great things at the end of the season"

The coach of an OL who will cross his fingers for poor performance of PSG and Losc on Sunday continues: "Putting a victorious goal in additional time is always huge in terms of positive emotions, It means that we believed in it until the end, that we did not give up.

Especially when we see that it is our right side who finds himself in the penalty area to score an exceptional goal.

"This projection limits" bielsist ", then this surprising risk-taking in the half-end of the win for Léo Dubois necessarily reveal a group sure of its strength, even when the evening seems to turn badly.

"It shows that we continue to have the state of mind to win every game," insists Brazilian defender Marcelo.

If we play all the games like this, I'm sure we'll find some great things at the end of the season.

Strangely, we have the feeling that the double-scorer in the derby is not just thinking of "securing a place in the top three" to find the Champions League.
