At the Velodrome stadium,

A shared feeling, like the Olympique Lyonnais season.

Peter Bosz's men slapped Olympique de Marseille on Sunday evening during the "Olympico", and are getting back into the race for Europe.

But such a performance, against the second in Ligue 1, can only leave Anthony Lopes' teammates with regret after a more than mixed season.

“I'm going to be a little vulgar, but it pisses me off.

Seeing what we are capable of achieving tonight, and seeing the situation we have been in since the start of the season.

I hope we will do what is necessary over the next three games.

But whatever happens at the end of the season, there will be regrets,” conceded the OL captain.

“If it works for us, so much the better”

Because the Lyonnais showed character to resist the Marseille domination, until the hour mark. Before punishing OM, helped a little by Antony Gautier, the referee of this match.

First by not whistling a penalty on a hand fault by Moussa Dembelé, in the area, after a cross from Gerson.

Despite the intervention of the VAR.

Then by granting the opener of the young, and very good, Lukeba (58th), despite a fault by number 9 Lyonnais on Pau Lopez, the Marseille goalkeeper.

Despite, once again, the intervention of the VAR.

“We take”, was satisfied Lopes, when his trainer did not bother: “If it is favorable to us, so much the better”.

"No, I'm not wrong.

I touch the ball, it's him who comes on me.

After that it's football, there is no fault so there is a goal.

It's part of football, it's not dancing it's football, and there are necessarily contacts, ”cleared Moussa Dembelé, while the Marseillais were enraged.

"If we hadn't won today, it would have been impossible"

The striker was congratulated by his coach: “It's not just the goals.

He was very important in the pressing, he closed the passes to Kamara, he took on this responsibility as captain.

At the start of the season he would never have done that.

He has progressed a lot.

And his purpose is wonderful.

“Which did not prevent the interested party from sharing the same bitter taste as Anthony Lopes.

“Yeah obviously we know that we have sinned at times in this season.

And when we see what we are capable of doing, it's obviously a bit disappointing, ”Moussa Dembélé.

But thanks to this convincing victory, the Lyonnais have a chance to alleviate these many regrets.

“Europe is always possible.

I also said that before the match, so winning here is a good thing.

We are happy to have won but now there is Metz.

To go to Europe, we have to win our last three games.

We'll try.

If we hadn't won today, with the other weekend results it might have been impossible,” recalled Peter Bosz.

OL are still alive, five points behind Nice, fifth.

And above all the calendar is rather favorable to them with two trips to Metz and Clermont, interspersed with the reception of Nantes.

But with this Lyon, anything is possible.
