Fox as a good captain

Already a scorer in the first leg (on penalty, 3-2), the emblematic captain of OL women did it again, sealing the victory and the qualification of hers after her victory in Paris this Saturday (2-1).

With an unstoppable head, the Lyon central defender confirmed the revenge of her team, who fell in the quarter after an elimination against PSG last year.

In addition to her saving goal, the French international (129 caps, 32 goals) also shined in defense, where she directly imposed her physical challenge by stopping Marie-Antoinette Katoto (4th).

Vigilant in depth against her friend Kadidiatou Diani (12th), the Martiniquaise remained in control of her defense.

Decisive in both surfaces.

Hegerberg, strong head

Absent from the scoreboard last Sunday, Ada Hegerberg restored the order of things this Saturday evening by opening the scoring (13th).

A perfect lobed header from a no less perfect cross from Selma Bacha to guide OL to the Champions League final.

An air conditioning of a Parc des Princes that the Norwegian provoked twice with her celebrations, even if the second goal, again from the head, was finally refused for offside.

In the game, the 2018 Ballon d'Or remained a constant poison for the Parisian hinge, constantly lost in its movements and under pressure to raise.

Ada Hegerberg went directly to the noisy Auteuil corner after her opener.

Diani's awakening

Hardly in sight in the first half, despite some flashes in the dribbles, Kadidiatou Diani sounded the alarm clock for PSG after the break.

If the Parisian striker missed the entry frame (47th), she especially signaled herself by going up the ball before being at the origin of the equalization of the hope of Katoto at the hour of play (61st).

Faced with a tormented Bacha defensively, the swift attacker continued to bring danger thanks to her swaying dribbles, but the player trained at the club was too alone in a collective too borrowed.

Record attendance

As expected, this PSG-OL set a new attendance record for a women's club football match in France.

With 43,255 spectators recorded at the Parc des Princes, the poster exploded the previous record of 2019, achieved in Lyon at the time (30,661 spectators).

And the atmosphere was felt at Porte de Saint-Cloud, where the Parisian ultras never stopped encouraging their proteges, sometimes pushed by loud encouragement.

FLOPS

Votikova, nightmarish confrontation

Complicated week for Barbora Votikova.

After going around social networks after her inexplicable blunder in the first leg, the PSG goalkeeper almost did the same thing again by messing up a clearance from the start (2nd).

Not comfortable with her feet, she is not free from any reproach on Hegerberg's goal either.

To his credit, an impeccable outing at the feet of Cascarino to preserve his chances (25th) before going out injured at half-time.

Propelled number 1 as goalkeeper during the season, the Czech clearly missed her double confrontation.

Fazer still too soft

Interesting in the first leg, the young Parisian was non-existent this time.

Still used sparingly this season (8 matches), the 18-year-old midfielder was brought back into the Parisian midfield to thwart the athletic midfielder of Lyonnaises.

Only this time, the player trained at the club seemed lost on the ground, where she will have had much less influence than her partners Geyoro and Däbritz.

In all, 15 small balloons hit before going out at halftime.

Cascarino, a failure that could have been expensive

A usual dynamiter of the Lyon attack, the Rhone right winger has seen his influence decline over the weeks.

While Malard and especially Macario, the club's top scorer, assert themselves, the French international (38 caps, 8 goals) makes less difference.

Worse, she prevented her team from sealing qualification a little more by favoring the dribble over the pass which was essential towards Malard (25th).

Abandoned by her defense, Votikova then intervened well to preserve her team.

Lowest total of balls played in attack on the Lyon side (19), Cascarino will not have brought danger either on set pieces.
