Olympique Lyonnais shines in the Europa League. This Thursday evening, Les Gones won with a score of 3 goals to 2 at Groupama Stadium against Eintracht Frankfurt.
A success which allows Pierre Sage’s men to grab 4th place in the Europa League rankings and almost validate their ticket to the round of 16 of the competition.
Author of a goal and 2 assists, Rayan Cherki once again had a solid match in the OL jersey. The French attacking midfielder has been sparkling for several weeks. In the post-match press conference, his coach did not hesitate to send him nice words and affirmed that he deserved to have a chance in the France A team.
“ I think today he is looked at, he is considered. His experience at the Olympic Games had not been very positive, but today he has other arguments. But if he is called up, he will deserve it,” he told journalists.
There is no doubt that national coach Didier Deschamps is closely scrutinizing the performances of the OL crack player. If he were to maintain this level of play, it is not at all impossible to see him in Didier Deschamps’ list at the next meeting in 2025. The 21-year-old found the path to goal 5 times and delivered 6 assists in all competitions since the start of the year.
