Lyon's disillusion was enormous at the final whistle of the OL match with Hoffenheim. The Genesio players had one foot in the last 16 of the Champions League. But they are equalized at the end of the meeting and will have to fight for a possible qualification. Lucas Tousart could not believe it.
Lyon missed the boat against Hoffenheim (2-2). Long in the lead, Lyon conceded the draw in the final minutes of the game. The way to the knockout stages of the Champions League could have been shorter but Genesio players like the suspense.
Lucas Tousart (middle of Lyon, at the microphone of RMC Sport): "It is not possible at this level, if we want to hope for a qualification. Hot, like that, I can not explain it to you. We did not realize that in a football match, nothing is ever finished. We thought maybe too beautiful at half-time and, quite simply, we let the foe return stupidly, like that. These are unacceptable errors at this level, to seek a qualification. We were keen to catch up tonight and here it is so annoying to concede a draw when we had the game in hand. "
Nabil Fekir (Lyon captain at the microphone of RMC Sport): "We took the match by the good end, we score fairly quickly. We lead two goals at half-time. After the expulsion (of Hoffenheim player Kasim Adams in the 51st, ed), I think that we dropped a little intensity, a little rhythm, we just gave them a little confidence and they have managed to come back. It's sad for us. This is a bit of our problem right now, we know that when we take a goal we are not serene behind. This is not a good evening for us, we repeat a little but we will try to correct what has not been tonight. We did a good game anyway, even if we do not start with the win and we are disappointed. We must continue with the same state of mind we had before these two goals. There are still two games left, nothing is played yet, it's up to us to learn from that match. "
