At the Velodrome stadium,

Olympique Lyonnais drew 1-1 on Sunday night at the Stade Vélodrome against Olympique de Marseille during the shock of the 27th day of Ligue 1. After a very good start to the game punctuated by the opener of Karl Toko -Ekembi (22nd), the Lyonnais gradually died out in this meeting until OM equalized, from a penalty just before half-time (43rd).

A penalty awarded by Benoit Millot after a hand fault from Paqueta, when the ball had hit his stomach before touching his hand.

And which made a lot of talk in the post-match press conference.

“A priori, there is a rule and when the ball hits the body, then the hand, there is no penalty.

But that must have changed.

We are the poor relatives of the Var, and I mean the Var because it can only be masculine.

If he were feminine, he would be more objective and softer, ”Rudi Garcia said after the meeting.

He especially regrets the yellow card received by Paqueta for this fault tomorrow.

A first heavy yellow of consequence.

"We are a victim of gambling, his first yellow sends him to the locker room on his second," he regretted.

"A bad point that turns into a good point"

Too bad for the Brazilian, author of a good match until his expulsion, despite this penalty caused.

“We are disappointed with his expulsion because he had given a nice assist to Karl [Toko-Ekembi].

But it can happen, we don't blame him.

We win together, we draw together.

In the game it was interesting, it was a well-made match so there is no debate, ”said Rudi Garcia.

For coach Lyonnais, “it's a bad point, given the start of the match, which turns into a good point since we finished at 10 in the last minutes.

But it's our fault, we stopped playing and they put the goal ”.

The Lyonnais will find Rennes on Wednesday, another team in bad shape.

But even against this kind of opponent, the Lyonnais will have to play more than 20 minutes to continue dreaming of the title.
