Sunday evening, PSG traveled to Lyon for the last match of the fourth day of Ligue 1. This meeting was marked by the correction that the players of the capital club inflicted on the Lyonnais (1-4), but also by the stormy return of new Parisian and former Lyonnais Bradley Barcola, heckled by Groupama Stadium.

The former Lyonnais also spoke of his arrival in Paris, expressing his thanks “to PSG, to (his) teammates and to the Parisian supporters” for making him “feel welcome. I say little but it means a lot to me.
