Cruel for PSG… While we were heading straight for a 0-0 between Paris and Lyon, at the Parc des Princes, in the quarter-finals first leg of the Women's Champions League, Irene Paredes cleared a ball on her teammate Formiga in the Parisian surface, five minutes from the end of regulation time, the latter touching the leather… with the hand.
The referee did not hesitate and awarded a penalty to the five-time title holders.
And Wendy Renard did not need to be asked to convert the offering into a goal.
The only one of the meeting (0-1 final score).
The two teams will meet again on March 31, at Groupama Stadium this time, for the return leg.
In the meantime, PSG will travel to Montpellier in D1, while OL will go to Dijon.
