Tops
The two Lyon players lit up this match with their talent. Cascarino first on the first goal. She shows her speed after being launched in depth, before finishing on the wrong foot. On the second goal it was Diani who was in the right place at the right time. After a blunder by the PSG goalkeeper, she received the ball at six meters and finished magnificently. More broadly, these two players showed all their talent and speed with the ball. Also note their generosity in defensive work.
This team now knows better than any other how to win titles. Whether nationally or internationally, these players are definitely made of something unique. They dominated the first half before managing the second. Even when the Parisiennes scored, Wendy Renard’s teammates did not get excited. They continued to remain solid in the game and in their heads. In short, a collective of champions.
She is one of the rare Parisians to stand out in this match. Thanks to her speed, her liveliness and her sense of dribbling, she managed to get rid of the Lyon defense. All he needed was the finish, at times, to fully succeed in his match. On several occasions she found herself in a tight corner with the possibility of concluding. In the second half, she nevertheless managed to reduce the score on an action of the same type or she had to try twice. A cruel match but full of promise.
Flops
The PSG goalkeeper had a nightmarish evening. She is particularly guilty of the two Lyon goals. On the first, Cascarino hits the near post at ground level and the Parisian goalkeeper must do better on this shot which was not lethal. On the second goal, she is even more at fault. She is the one who loses the ball after a deep pass from Karchaoui. Then on Diani’s shot which follows, it is not perfect either. In short, it will be a match to forget for the Parisian.
The capital’s players must ask themselves if they are not cursed against these Lyonnaises. Whether in the Champions League or the French Championship, Paris does not know how to beat this OL team. However, these Parisians do not lack talent. Karchaoui, Katoto and Chawinga are international class players. But nothing helps, they keep coming up against the same obstacle. The difference is therefore perhaps to be found in the head where the Lyonnaises have taken an ascendancy which seems prohibitive.
