Belgium youngster of Guinean descent, Malick Fofana, has indicated that he will never forget Olympique Lyon’s defeat to Manchester United in their second leg meeting of the quarter-final tie in the Europa League.
Fofana was in action for the French outfit yesterday as they slipped late in extra time, allowing the English club to score two quick goals to boot them out of the Europa League with a 7-6 aggregate win.
Speaking in a post-match interview, Malick Fofana shared his disappointment, stressing that he won’t forget the match.
“I think everyone is disappointed, we played a very good match with character, mentality but it wasn’t enough. We relaxed a little, we thought it was over but in these big matches, it’s never over. Bruno Fernandes’ penalty hurt us, the crowd who push too. We are very disappointed,” Fofana said.
The talented winger continued, “We have to be more demanding at the end, there are 15 minutes left, we have to be compact. I think it’s a match that I won’t forget… We’re going to rest and concentrate on the derby.”
Up next for Lyon, the team will take on Saint-Etienne in the French Ligue 1 on Sunday, April 20.
