Lyon captain Alexandre Lacazette taken out on a stretcher after collision with Brest goalkeeper Marco Bizot. Lyon won 4-3 after Brest scored winning penalty in added time.
“We are awaiting additional examinations. He is out injured but we are waiting for reassuring news. He wasn't in the locker room when I got home but we're going to support him so he comes back as quickly as possible,” said Lyon coach Pierre Sage. ‘I hope that Alexandre is well because he took a shock which reminded me terribly of Schumacher,’ said Jean-Michel Aulas at the microphone of Prime Video, in reference to the attack of the German goalkeeper on Patrick Battiston during the 1982 World Cup. “Once again, he was decisive in managing our start to the match, quite well,“ says the OL coach about his captain. ‘When we were down 3-1 and we had to look up, he set the tone. This often has an effect on his partners who feel pulled up. He fulfills his role as player and captain’
