Max-Alain Gradel is in great form since his return from the Africa Cup of Nations and has made a confident statement ahead of Saint-Étienne’s upcoming clash with Lyon. Having already delivered a 3-0 first-leg victory over Lyon, Gradel believes the pressure is now on the Gones as they look to turn things around in the second leg.
Gradel emphasized that even if they had won 1-0, Lyon would still have been fired up for revenge, but with a 3-0 advantage, the weight is on Lyon’s shoulders. His message is clear: Saint-Étienne should score first and maintain their composure to finish the job.
Looks like it’s all set up for an exciting contest with Lyon having to battle hard to overcome a significant deficit!
