Nicolas Tagliafico (OL) and Rafa Silva (Besiktas) @UEFA
Thursday, during OL's success against Qarabag (1-4), Nicolas Tagliafico wore the Lyon armband for the first time. A distinction that he is the fourth to obtain this season.
At the start of the duel between Qarabag and OL on Thursday (1-4), no Alexandre Lacazettenor Corentin Tolissoby Maxence He would lie down or even Nemanja Matic. It was therefore necessary to appoint another captain to represent the French team during this match counting for the fifth day of Ligue 1. This was inevitably going to be a first.
The choice of the staff finally turned to Nicolas Tagliafico. The Argentinian was the oldest in the starting 11 of the Rhone team, but also the most experienced, certainly with Jordan Veretout. The left side thus had the privilege of wearing this armband for the first time. He became the 89th (of those known) to have received this distinction in the history of the Lyon club.
A victory for his first as captain
A baptism of fire which went rather well for the 2022 world champion. If, on a personal level, he did not deliver his best performance, notably taking a yellow card of little use in the 93rd, his team has everything even won. Victory is at the end, and that is the most important thing, especially for a boy like Tagliafico who often highlights the collective.
Let us point out that he is the fourth captain this season on the OL side (only for those who have started a game), after Lacazette (twelve times), Caqueret (three) and Matić (one).
