They held the great operation of the 32nd day, but everything collapsed. While Lille were on course to beat OL this Monday evening at Pierre-Mauroy, and steal 3rd place, synonymous with direct qualification for the Champions League in Brest, they were overthrown and beaten by the Lyonnais in reaction (4- 3), at the end of a crazy match.
A difficult scenario to live with for the president of Losc, Olivier Létang. “If I’m sincere, we took a train in the face, especially with this scenario,” he reacted in the mixed zone. “We lead 2-0, we then lack control in the second half, but we are lucky to lead 3-2 in the 87th minute with five defenders including three central players.” Before two goals from Lacazette and Baldé for OL. “It’s a difficult, cruel scenario, but I’ve already told you: in high-level sport, there is no place for those who are weak,” continued Létang.
