Rayan Cherki has broken his silence following Lyon’s crushing Europa League exit at the hands of Manchester United, turning his focus to redemption in the upcoming derby.
The tricky winger delivered standout performances across both legs of the quarter-final, scoring in each game. Yet, his efforts couldn’t prevent Lyon from falling short, losing 5-4 on aggregate in a dramatic tie.
In a message posted on Instagram, Rayan Cherki offered a mix of frustration and hope as Lyon now gears up for a key clash in Ligue 1.
“Disappointed with the scenario, but proud of my team and my club,” he wrote. “We’re going to raise our heads and get into derby mode.”
Lyon will face fierce rivals Saint-Etienne this weekend, with Cherki expected to play a crucial role.
The French-Algerian’s performances have reportedly sparked interest from several European clubs, including Manchester United, who are keeping tabs on his situation.
