The point G.

In a press conference following a draw by Manchester City in Lyon (2-2), Josep Guardiola was rather in a good mood on the performance of his own. The reason ? His team is qualified in the round of 16 of C1. A big goal. " Today, the Champions League made me understand that the level of requirement is always stronger, describes the Catalan coach.When you face a team in this competition, you have to face a very solid defense, a very fast attack against. We had already lost our first game against OL, we were warned. The good news is that we are qualified for the next round. Now we will focus on the championship."

Victimized by Maxwel Cornet, author of three goals in two games against City, Pep has spread over Lyon, the championship of France and French know-how, without lapping praise. "Maxwel Cornet is not the only strong player in this team, although I am impressed by his talent. There is an incredible abundance of talent in France, and people do not seem to be aware enough: Fekir, Ndombele or Traore are also exceptional. It's not for nothing that France has become world champion. Abroad, the media only talk about the PSG … But I guarantee you that this Lyon team is just as dangerous. Everyone was talking about the City draw saying it was going to be easy. The problem is that people do not watch Lyon, Hoffenheim or Shakthar games. The Champions League is excellence."

Well, Bertrand Traore is Burkinabé. But the idea is there.
