OL women’s coach Sonia Bompastor expressed her satisfaction after her team’s late victory (3-2) against PSG in the Champions League semi-final first leg. “I think that the reversal of the situation after being down 2-0 proves the mental and collective strength of this group,” underlined the coach, “proud” of her players who turned the match around in six minutes (80th, 84th, 86th).
Led 2-0, “we had to believe in ourselves, we had to get at least one goal to then have the support of the public and turn the situation around,” she added, insisting on the role of the most 35,000 spectators at Groupama Stadium who pushed OL towards the end of the match. Before the return match on Sunday at the Parc des Princes, we must “savour this moment”: “I think that in terms of intensity and over such a short time, this is one of the very good moments” with OL, explained the coach, expected to join Chelsea next season.
The bad news comes from Griedge Mbock, out with an injury: the defender “will take exams this week”, declared Sonia Bompastor, already deprived of Eugénie Le Sommer and Ada Hegerberg. She said it was “too early” to specify the type of injury. Amel Majri, who scored the third goal (86th), believes that the Lyonnaises “had the necessary resources” thanks to “competition experience” (8 times European champions), maintaining “control, self-control”. control”.
