(Lyon striker): “We had a fantastic week of training.
Proud of the team.
We all fought together when we were reduced to ten on the pitch tonight.
In my opinion, the arbitrator has work to do.
We will come back next week with another important match (against Saint-Etienne). ”

Proud of the team, we fought together when we were left with 10 men on the pitch tonight.

Rudi Garcia
(Lyon coach): “We saw an enterprising OL who had game intentions. We didn't win the match because we didn't open the scoring when we had the opportunity.
And on the block we take Bamba's goal.
Fortunately, by pushing, we came back.
In the second half, we are reduced to ten very quickly.
Against a Champions League level team, we defended well even if we existed much less on the offensive side.
(on the exclusion of Marcelo) It is the first yellow which is very severe.
If now a head-to-head duel, it turns yellow ... I don't know.
Either it's voluntary and it's red, or it's nothing.
Quite honestly, it killed the match, I would have liked to see 95 minutes against Losc 11 against 11. I'm not going to say what I think ... I was very bored because after that it becomes difficult. "

Christophe Galtier
(Lille coach) after the 1-1 draw against Lyon: “Lyon defended well with a compact low block and we lacked creativity, aggressiveness and presence in the penalty area.
The big teams are comfortable against low blocks, for us it is more complicated.
We lacked presence in the axis, to put our hands in the sludge, to put density.
It was a handball match with a well-placed defense and we were circling around.
I am quite frustrated.
We take an unlucky goal but we did not know how to take advantage of this numerical advantage.
There is frustration and anger because sometimes in difficult matches you have to show more character, more temperament.
We lacked initiative. ”

Marcelo
(Lyon defender, excluded in the 50th minute): “It's a good point, because when you play with ten, it's not easy, especially against a team like Lille.
It was a very tactical match, a Champions League level match with a lot of quality and intensity.
On my expulsion, I think the referee was too harsh.
It's the same as two years ago against Angers.
Maybe he doesn't like me!
(in October 2017, Marcelo had accidentally hit the yellow card that Mr. Lesage had just sent him and the referee then issued a second warning and excluded the Brazilian, creating a controversy, editor's note).
On the second foul maybe he can put a yellow card, but not the first one. "
