UEFA Q/Finals: Lyon Prove Bookmakers Wrong, Beat ManCity 3-1

 

Open goal scorer for Lyon, Cornet has scored 4 goals against ManCity in the Champions League

 

 

Parc Olympique Lyonnais has done it again even though bookmakers gave them no chance with Manchester City in their quarter-final match. Last year in the 2019/2019 edition of the tournament, they beat Mancity 2-1 at Etihad and drew 2-2 at home, the Groupama stadium.

They pressed magnificently and made Man City look uncoordinated in the first half.

Goal scorer Maxwel Cornet was a torn in ManCity’s flesh last year and his opener in the 24th min, made it his fourth goals against Manchester City in the Champions League.

Raheem Sterling, did his best but his best was not good enough for his side as he was either throwing away balls at the 18 yard box or shooting straight at goalie Anthony Lopes.

But in the 69th min Kevin de Bruyne pulled one back for City with a lovely, a first-time side foot finish from a Sterling pull-back ball . But Moussa Dembele cut their victory dance short by firing home a second for Lyon in the 79th minute and a third in the 87th minutes. Game over. They would meet Bayern Munchen in the semi-final. The Semi-finals is a French VS German take as PSG would meet RB Leipzig.
