Tops
Toko-Ekambi, in Olympic form
Karl Toko-Ekambi is undoubtedly
the man in form of Lyon
.
The former Sochalien is quite simply involved in 7 goals in his last 3 matches with OL (3 goals, 4 assists).
At the Parc des Princes, he was still one of the most dangerous by his calls in the depth, often on the edge of the offside.
It was on one of his recoveries and passes that Kadewere was able to score the only goal of the game.
Denayer, solid at the post
To resist against PSG, Lyon has remained solid and can especially thank Jason Denayer.
The Belgian was invaluable in all the hot spots ensuring several welcome clearances.
Interesting in the air, it has also been interesting in its transmissions with a precise boost.
Rudi Garcia succeeds in his bet
For several matches, Rudi Garcia has structured his team in a rather daring 4-3-3 with five players with an offensive vocation.
But his tactical bet is working.
With a coherent team, which offered a lot of interesting streaks in the first half.
Before evolving in a more defensive register but just as effective after the break.
An OL that is surfing on a great dynamic with 7 victories in its last 8 Ligue 1 matches.
Flops
Paris did everything upside down
After qualifying in the Champions League and a 1st place in its group gleaned, we would have thought that PSG could continue.
Except that the
Parisians have once again shown that inconstant face
which is their characteristic this season.
In a 3-5-2 which turned out to be very wobbly, Tuchel's men did not offer anything coherent, with no collective streak and above all a lot of individual actions that did not succeed.
With a failing midfield, where Verratti seemed to be on his own, and an unconvincing attack, despite Mbappé's entry in the second half, Paris could not have hoped for better.
The concern around Neymar In
addition to this defeat, PSG experienced a nightmarish evening by losing Neymar to injury.
In additional time of this meeting, the Brazilian was the victim of a big tackle from Thiago Mendes, sent off afterwards, and saw his ankle turn well.
In tears, he had to be evacuated on a stretcher and may miss a lot of weeks of competition.
Before this terrible injury, he had shown his annoying face by not playing the right way and often forgetting his partners.
Kimpembe, abandoned
captain Evening captain in the absence of Marquinhos, Presnel Kimpembe did not really reassure his defense.
Sometimes taking risks with the ball at the foot, one of his missed passes indeed brought the Lyon goal.
Far from being imperial in duels, the French defender continues to display a certain inconstancy in his performances.
