When a team is walking on water, it is sometimes very difficult to do anything to stop it. This Saturday evening, this team called itself Olympique Lyonnais and began to defy the laws of physics from the 80th minute of their Champions League semi-final first leg against Paris Saint-Germain.
Trailing 2-0, the Lyonnaises turned on the steamroller and scored three goals in 6 minutes (80th, 85th, 86th) to overthrow the Rouges et Bleues.
The third goal, the winning goal by Amel Majri, is a little gem. Paris is still groggy from Melchie Dumornay's equalizer, a firecracker in the top corner after a delight of oriented control. But a minute and forty seconds later, Lyon is already on the attack again: on the right, Horan is receiving a touch and shifts Dumornay in the axis, who finds a nice deep pass for Majri, who leaves pass the ball between his legs to eliminate Vangsgaard before adjusting Picaud with an unstoppable cross shot, at the foot of the post.
It's a disaster scenario for PSG, who led 2 goals to 0 thanks to a double from their No. 9 Marie-Antoinette Katoto and who completely gave up in less than ten minutes.
From now on, we will have to redouble our efforts to keep our dream of a Champions League final alive: the return match on Sunday, April 28, at the Parc des Princes, in front of an audience who would see the Parisiennes return the favor to the Lyonnaises.
