Olympique Lyonnais won against Eintracht Frankfurt this Thursday evening in the Europa League (-).
All the lights were green forOlympique Lyonnaisthis Thursday evening, at the kick-off of this beautiful poster against Eintracht Frankfurt. With its 10 points collected in 5 matches, Pierre Sage’s team is in an ideal position for qualification in this phase of the League, with one ideal in mind: securing the top 8.
Beyond this purely accounting aspect, it is above all the impression left by OL which delights observers. Dominant, exciting, carried by Rayan Cherki finally at the height of his immense talent, the Rhone club has clearly found its cruising speed. Including in Ligue 1, where the great Paris Saint-Germain looms on the horizon after this shock against Frankfurt.
Stunning OL, dazzling Cherki
This Thursday’s European meeting therefore allowed Pierre Sage and his men to measure themselves for the first time against high-level adversity. The OL coach had therefore relied on his strengths for this first major meeting against the winner of 2022 in the Europa League. From Lacazette to Perri, via Cherki, Fofana and Tolisso, the Lyon executives were well present.
A strategy which bore fruit since Les Gones managed to gain the upper hand over this Frankfurt team. However, it was the Germans who broke the deadlock after a quarter of an hour of play through Knauff (0-1, 19th). But Les Gones found the resources to turn the situation around spectacularly.
And this success still bears the signature of Rayan Cherki. The Olympic vice-champion first deflected a long shot from Tolisso (1-1, 37th) before turning into a passer for Fofana with a perfect rapid attack (2-1, 50th). Nuamah allowed OL to take off immediately with a personal exploit (3-1, 54th). Marmoush’s late score reduction changed nothing (3-2, 84th). Lyon carries out an excellent operation and overtakes its evening opponent.
