This Saturday, Olympique Lyonnais faces Paris Saint-Germain in the final of the Coupe de France. Les Gones, already qualified for a European Cup next season, have the opportunity to end the season in style with a trophy. For this meeting, coach Pierre Sage would have chosen to start Lucas Perri instead of Anthony Lopes. An incomprehensible decision according to Jérôme Rothen, as he confided to RMC.

“I find that it is a lack of competitive spirit to play the second goalkeeper in the Coupe de France when there are only two competitions to play. You could have had a little more class. He gave the club 24 years”Rothen said first. “Give him that last game! What’s stopping you from doing it? You’re going to put him on the bench and he’ll have the balls. If OL win, they won’t normally celebrate because there will be a little bit of bitterness.”, he added. It remains to be seen whether Lucas Perri will manage to keep his clean sheet against the Parisians.
