GWT: Ligue 1 MOTW Round 20

[Evilo]

Tough decision this week and I can't decide.

As such, I present you a super 2 header monster :

Lens-Rennes, Saturday, 9:00 PM Paris time
and
Lyon-PSG, Sunday, 8:45 PM Paris time

On one hand two of the most spectacular teams in L1 with Lens and Rennes. Should be an absolute treat with both teams fighting for 2nd place.
On the other hand, Lyon PSG is usually very eventful and Lyon HAS to get out of the dumpster. PSG is PSG, not much teamplay but insane talents.

What’s Poch up to? His seat getting hot?

It's a matter of who replaces him. Zidane is very very heavily rumored, but if he doesn't want to come now, Poch is safe. If ZZ is ready now, a defeat would seal Poch's destiny.

Pochettino is heading to Man Utd pretty soon.

Clauss with yet another great cross resulting in a goal.

Awful decision to send Schneiderlin off for a tackle, studs not up, got the ball way before the Brest player, no excessive force.

One of the most ridiculous straight red I've ever seen. Use VAR FFS.

Gouiri with a G and A and Nice wins away despite being unfairly left to 10 men most of the game.
They're back to 2nd in the standings.

Paqueta comes back from Covid and opens the scoring against PSG.

Not the best ad for French football, but I'm glad Lyon didn't end up winning because they played really negative football. On the bright side, Bruno Guimaraes looked great, MOTM for me, and on the not so bright, Aouar and Cherki looked like French Adamas, all dribbling, no resolution. PSG had too many passengers, I think I saw Wijnaldum touch the ball twice all game. Icardi was useless as well. When Pochettino put the kids in the speed of PSG's game increased dramatically.

Bruno's assist to Paqueta was pure gold
