Olympique Lyonnais won a 17th French championship title on Friday evening following a play-off final won against Paris SG (2-1). At the end of this victory and the celebrations, Sonia Bompastor, the Lyon coach, presented herself to the press to express her pride and joy but also to throw a few barbs.
The first was addressed to the Paris SG players who, according to her, lacked fair play by joining the locker room while the Lyonnaises were celebrating their title. “You will say that I am a little grumpy this evening but I would have appreciated if the Parisian players remained on the edge of the pitch during the ceremony until the end. They would have at least shown a little more class,” said the former player of the France team (156 caps) before continuing: “In that regard, my team has class and that makes the difference. »
The boss of Gones also took advantage of her appearance in front of the microphones to tell the French Football Federation that she did not appreciate the play-off system put in place to award the title of champion of France while her team finished the regular season eleven points ahead of PSG. “Can you imagine if you lose? You’ve gone through the season and you’re going to tell your players: “No, you’re not the best team in France.” In relation to all the work put in, to all the efforts, we must find another solution,” she insisted before concluding on the subject: “When we are OL, we are perhaps the only ones to raise this voice but we must respect OL’s track record and the fact that we are a real locomotive for French football.
