In the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League against Brondby (2-0) last week, Sarah Bouhaddi had strangely accompanied with the look of a free kick from Nanna Christiansen on her crossbar, at 0-0.

This Wednesday, the Lyon goalkeeper caused a little fright to her team, by conceding the opener on a quasi-gag goal (1-0, 11th).

At the start, there was a bad recovery in the axis of Wendie Renard.

Obviously concerned about the ankle injury suffered by her teammate Selma Bacha, Sarah Bouhaddi was very advanced when Nanna Christiansen unleashed a floating strike.

His untimely relaxation did not allow him to catch up with his inattention.

"We can't wait to be on Saturday"

But the five-time reigning European champions were not endangered in the wake, locking their qualification for the quarter-finals (draw Thursday) in the first period thanks to Nikita Parris (1-1, 32nd) and Melvine Malard (1-2, 42nd), already scorers in the first leg.

A penalty from Wendie Renard (1-3, 50th) allowed Jean-Luc Vasseur's players to build up their confidence before Saturday's clash (9 p.m.) against PSG, current leader of D1.

"There are always things to improve, we must continue to write history", insists again and always captain Wendie Renard, who has no less than 14 championships and 7 Champions Leagues to her credit.

"We are all looking forward to Saturday," admits England striker Nikita Parris.

U.S. too.
