Zapping Our Mondial EXCLUDED: Youssouf Fofana’s “Little brother” interview!
OL will not save French football! While all the men’s teams were already eliminated in the Champions League, it was feared that this would also be the case for the women. Earlier in the day, Paris Saint-Germain had said goodbye to the competition by conceding a draw on the lawn of Wolfsburg (1-1), and it was the turn of the Lyonnaises to play their future in England.
After the 1-0 defeat in the first leg in France, Olympique Lyonnais moved to Chelsea with the hope of turning the tide, and the feat became possible when Gilles equalized 15 minutes from the end (77th, 1-0). A goal that allows the French to snatch extra time at Stamford Bridge, to finally find the fault in the dying minutes on a goal from Däbritz (110th, 2-0). The Fenottes thought they would hold their qualification, but the English finally obtained a penalty following the consultation of the VAR in the 122nd minute following a foul by Becho on James. And Mjelde was quick to snatch the penalty shootout. And in this little game, it is Chelsea who are doing better, Renard and Horan having missed their attempt on the OL side. Les Fenottes are eliminated, Chelsea go to the semi-finals!
To sum up
Terrible disappointment for Olympique Lyonnais, eliminated from the Champions League on penalties against Chelsea! However, the Lyonnaises led 2-0 until the last second of extra time, a big blow for Les Gones.
