Rudi Garcia (Lyon coach)
: “The objective was to regain this first place and that puts pressure on our opponents, Lille and PSG.
Monaco is there too.
It is important for us to keep winning.
When you put the winning goal into extra time, it's always huge in terms of positive emotions.
We haven't let go.
It shows that we pushed to the end to get there.
It was not an easy game.
We gradually gained strength.
We score after a corner.
The second half was tricky.
I do not forget that Anthony Lopes is decisive in front of Rémi Oudin.
I'm not surprised because Bordeaux is a good team.
Winning against such an opponent enhances our performance.
We must underline how good Bordeaux was in the match and that this team could have taken a point.
These are three points that will be very important to us.
Now we have to make the pass of three by going to win in Dijon but we have the bad news to see the injury behind a thigh of Jason Denayer. ”

Marcelo (Lyon defender)
: “It was a very difficult match for us but the most important thing is to have won.
Now we will see what Lille and PSG will do (against Dijon and Lorient on Sunday, note).
Bordeaux played very well, tactically in particular under the impetus of (Hatem) Ben Arfa.
We won a lot of duels and it was good to stay in the game.
We conceded a goal on which we lacked concentration but we never lowered our fighting spirit before this goal on the end of Léo Dubois.
We stay with this state of mind that allows us to believe that we can win every game.
And if we continue like this, we can achieve great things.
It should also be seen that Anthony Lopes was decisive on the action of (Rémy) Oudin.
It gave us confidence for the end. ”
"We lose on a goal from elsewhere"
Jean-Louis Gasset
Jean-Louis Gasset (Bordeaux coach)
: “Very disappointed, because the players did not deserve that.
It annoys me to know the loss in 2021 after such a game.
We lose on a goal from elsewhere.
We played the game we decided to play.
We had a good thirty minutes and we took a goal from a set piece and a billiards shot.
At halftime, we thought it was possible by playing good football.
The second half was a high level against an opponent who did not have too many situations.
We could hope for at least one point.
None at the last second, it's very hard.
We played a consistent game but we didn't play a few situations well.
We have fun and if we can repeat this type of performance, we can hope for good things.
However, it is positive, I liked my team.
When Hatem (Ben Arfa) takes the ball, he rests us.
He gave a goal ball for Hwang.
He is not yet on top physically.
He's a great player. ”

Laurent Koscielny (Bordeaux defender)
: “There is a lot of disappointment.
We could also have won this game.
We had chances in the second half which was very good.
Everyone gave everything to hook this Lyon team.
We leave without a point but there is something positive to be learned for the future.
It happens in football to lose matches that we could have won.
The way we played tonight was very good.
We must be proud of our performance.
We are a little less successful.
We could have led 2-1 and we lose 2-1.
We must keep our heads high and since the start of 2021, we have gained confidence.
This defeat should not make us bow our heads.
Losing on a goal from elsewhere is difficult.
Football can be cruel sometimes. ”
