Lyon experienced a significant setback, losing 4-1 against Bastia, which puts a dent in their hopes for the title. Despite hoping to recover from their previous 0-0 draw against OM, Lyon’s performance against Bastia was lackluster.
Rémi Garde, the Lyon coach, was highly critical of the team’s performance, describing it as a “big slap in the face.” He expressed disappointment with the lack of concentration, communication, and overall defensive play, stating that the team played like a junior team. Garde emphasized the need for a collective reevaluation, acknowledging that the defeat was a “collective shipwreck.” The defeat significantly impacts Lyon’s position in the title race, and Garde refrained from discussing it further on the disappointing evening.
