Over the past year, he has gone from darling to pariah in Lyon. Author of an impressive second part of the 2022-2023 season with his training club, Bradley Barcola joined PSG at the very end of the summer transfer window. A heartbreak for a majority of Lyon supporters with whom the divorce has since been completely finalized. Indeed, during the last meetings between OL and the capital club, the 21-year-old winger did nothing to help the situation by blithely celebrating the victories of his new team in front of his former teammates. During the Coupe de France final between the two rivals this Saturday evening, Bradley Barcola produced a great performance.

At the end of the match, the native of Villeurbanne did not fail to further upset the Lyon public in Lille by brandishing the trophy in front of them. A new joke in bad taste which provoked the ire of many Gones supporters on social networks. Nevertheless, Barcola was able to count on the support of Sidney Govou on X: “given the insults he receives every time…it’s a bit normal isn’t it??? It’s fair game. Let’s let him continue his career and be proud to have trained this future great player. PS: you don’t know everything about this file, so let’s forget about it for a bit.» It remains to be seen whether the wise speech of the former darling of Gerland will soothe the hearts of Lyon supporters.
