Olympique Lyonnais secured a spot in the Coupe de la Ligue final by defeating Troyes (Ligue 2) with a score of 2-1. Goals from Alexandre Lacazette and Bafétimbi Gomis helped Les Gones secure the victory, despite Troyes reducing the score through Thiago.
This will be the second time in three years that OL will play in the Coupe de la Ligue final. Jimmy Briand emphasized the team’s determination to win the competition, stating that they play it to the fullest. He acknowledged the challenge they face against PSG in the final on April 19 at the Stade de France, but remains optimistic about their chances.
While Alexandre Lacazette remains focused on winning the final regardless of the opponent, some players like Henri Bedimo and Arnold Mvuemba are excited about the opportunity to compete in such a prestigious event. Bedimo sees it as a chance for revenge against PSG, especially after their defeat earlier in the season.
Overall, the Lyon players are looking forward to the final and hope to emerge victorious, especially those who have not yet experienced such an event. Victory in the final would be a significant achievement for the club.
