Talked too quickly about the CL though.
Lyon plays at Monaco next week. If they win they're back in the CL hunt.
But the title is likely gone though.

Finished watching Lyon v Lille, great game. Caqueret a class above as has been said. The shoulder feints and turns to give himself space are brilliant.

Yes, he's amazing.
When you think that Garcia has :
1/ played him in less than half of Lyon's starting lineups
2/ sent Gouiri away
3/ has refused to play Kalulu who's gone to Milan now
4/ has failed to put Lyon in the CL two years in a row despite having easily the second most talented team in the league each season
5/ has publicly lashed out on his talented youngster Diomande for taking the ball up the pitch by screaming "who the f*** does he think he is? Beckenbauer?"
6/ has refused to play Bard even though he's a very talented LB and has only realized that at the 34th game of the year by starting him in a key game against Lille.
7/ has refused to play Cherki, even against regrouped defenses.
8/ has put Cornet on against a regrouped defense in a key game.
9/ has refused to play Malo Gusto (RB) who's one of the most talented young FB in the game, starting De Sciglio (when Dubois's not available) just because he's italian even though he sucks

When you see all this, you realize that Garcia has slowed down Lyon tremendously. And to think Houllier advised to pick Garcia instead of Blanc.... What an awful mistake.
Aulas has apparently asked Juinho if he's firmly against Garcia signing an extension (really Jean Mimi???) and Juni has said NO and offered his resignation if it was even proposed to him.

To be honest, I can't overcome the fact he's not even selected for the U21 team. Camavinga, Tchouameni, Kamara, Soumare and Guendouzi.
He's better than all, except maybe Cama.
What do you think about Tchouameni's potential? Every time I've seen him he stood out defensively (provided it was maybe 3 times, but still)

Tchouameni has completely exploded this year. Amazing season.
I still think Fofana helps him look better than he is and is somehow underrated. But the duo has been great, no doubt.
Both have good potential but most people rate Tchouameni very highly while IMO underrating Fofana, whose potential is also very high.

A foreign fund is prepared to buy St Etienne and put Bodmer as the GM.
Smart, smart business.
St Etienne has a great fan base and Bodmer is one of the most intelligent person in football.

PSG barely beat Lens this afternoon and Lille already leads 1-0 over Nice.
Monaco/Lyon tomorrow.

Lille is going to be hard to beat for the title.

So Monaco/Lyon in a couple of minutes.
If Monaco wins, they're right in the title hunt, but Lyon is basically out of the CL.
If both teams draw, both teams are out of the title race, but Lyon is also likely done for the 3rd CL place.
If Lyon wins, both are out of the title race, but Lyon will be right in the race for 3rd.

Volland scores !
Awful defending by Cornet, who is NOT a defenseman but that Garcia still starts at LB over the young and talented Bard. Cornet couldn't align and thus put Volland onside.

Caqueret brilliant game but two bad fouls for two yellows (though second one was a bit weak tbh) and he's out.
Lyon with 10 men.

And Kawedere just did a much worse foul than both Caqueret fouls and is seeing yellow. Should be straight red tbh.

Lopes actually punched Pelligri rather than the ball on that play. VAR should overturn that and give Monaco a PK.

2-2 !
Last minutes will be crazy ! Monaco NEED to score but Lyon too.

Lopes has always been known for being extremely violent when coming out of the goal in aerial battles. This one will cost Lyon dearly.
