There it is.
Farmers beat the EPL champs in their own stadium.

Excellent chance for Valencia there.
Milk le cow in the morning and play in the CL at night. Another career I should have pursued.

Ok, so maybe the only part similar was dribbling diagonally in the penalty area in stoppage timeYou mean sending the ball over the goal, getting a corner even though nobody touched the ball and then whine so much he got a card?

Being without KdB means they have to play one of the Silvas - either of which still may be better than anyone Lyon can field. I'm not buying what you're selling.

Look at your posts about PSG.
And then try to defend that statement with City's spending.
Lyon's budget is 285M€.
City's team cost over 900M.

Fred was alright, little sloppy in his performance although seemed to come into the game later.
Rashford was....irrelevant? I guess would be a good word. Had a bad first touch that would have given him a clear 2 on 1 with Lukaku, but fumbled it back and they lost possession. Had a couple bad passes in attack. He seemed to run well and get back well though. There wasn't a ton of room out wide for his more typical runs, especially with Dalot getting forward like he did.
Holy sh*t, Evilo, I was rooting for Lyon and I'm glad they won, but you're making it hard to enjoy the win.
Loosen up, dude. Yes, some posters (myself included) think Ligue 1 is inferior to the EPL.
Which is supported by facts and numbers. Doesn't mean Ligue 1 football is literal trash.

No matter how much of a soccer enthusiast Steve Nash is, it is still weird to have a former NBA player/all-star as a soccer analyst. I guess this was just to pander to the American audience. No Brit in the studio? Yep.

Well yeah and I mean where does Lyon usually end up in the competition? Group stage, maybe 1/8 Final if they're lucky. They're obviously a well-run club given their strength in the French competitions (and from what I understand there's no sheikh or oligarch in the background), but one win over Man City doesn't make them a challenger to the top clubs. The French league will always be hurt by the relative lack of interest in domestic league football.

I think when Pep said the PL isn't as good as people make it out to be he was specifically just talking about City.
Yeah I suspect if those two were there City would have done much better.
I'm pretty sure MC's goals per game goes down significantly when KdB isn't playing.
