Before this decisive meeting for the women's D1 title between OL and PSG, Amel Majri, the multi-titled player from Lyon confided in the Parisian.
She does not shy away from OL's difficulties this season, while PSG is increasingly threatening for the Rhone, who remain on 14 French championship titles in a row.
How do you rate your season personally?
AMEL MAJRI.
Overall, compared to what I'm able to do, to contribute, my season is not necessarily good.
There are still some bright spots, but I know I can do a lot better.
I am not necessarily satisfied.
It's a bit the same thing for OL in general, isn't it?
We are used to winning the three titles (the Champions League, the championship, the Coupe de France), to do much better, so for the moment, we are not satisfied.
We got the people around us used to doing a lot better… Yes, we are frustrated, but also determined.
We must not mope, on the contrary: we must go for this title in the league.

When you've just won 5 Champions Leagues in a row, from 2016 to 2020, it has to stop one day ...
We know that one day it will stop, but when it stops, we are never ready… And then, there are different ways to end a series.
We would have preferred that it did not stop and not that way.
That is to say, not against PSG and not by being globally dominated during the two matches (in the quarter-finals of the C1)?
Exactly, we could have shown a better image and a better face of Olympique Lyonnais.
Before, OL were above.
Paris bothers you more and more… Is it disturbing?
We are not used to it.
We have already lost in the league in Paris (1-0), we got out in the Champions League by PSG… We are not used to this kind of service.
Afterwards, the Parisians, they progress and work to get a title, they advance.

No longer being the big favorites as before, are you now approaching this shock against Paris differently?
We know that PSG can be at our level.
The fact of being confronted with it, it jostled us too.
We know it's a match where every scenario will be possible.
It's going to be a final.
If the PSG comes to win this title, it is a kind of passing of the baton?
No, it will not be a passing of the baton.
We have just won 5 Champions Leagues and 14 championships in a row.
Losing will happen one day, but it is not a passing of the baton.
On the contrary, for me, it shows that the level of the championship is increasing and that it is much more attractive.
We should be happy about it.
Is the rivalry between OL and PSG increasingly strong?
Sportingly, on the pitch, it's fair.
When two big teams want the same title, have the same goal, a rivalry is created, that's normal.
But outside, we get along well, we exchange well with each other.
