This Saturday, April 30, the Parisiennes lost 1-2 against the Lyonnaises in the semi-final return of the Champions League at the Parc des Princes. OL won with a header from Norway’s Ada Hegerberg (14′) then from France’s Wendie Renard (83′).
PSG came back to score in the 62nd minute with a goal from Marie-Antoinette Katoto. The Lyonnaises won the first leg 3-2 and qualified for their tenth Champions League final. Les Parisiennes, once again, failed to win the trophy after two finals lost in 2015 and 2017.
The frustration of Grace Geyoro
At the end of this meeting, the Parisiennes still received a nice ovation from the Parc des Princes. A public who saw that PSG dominated this meeting with the ball, but the Lyonnais won this confrontation through experience, hence the bitter feeling of PSG captain Grace Geyoro “There is frustration. We gave everything, we tried to produce play, to start from behind, to create chances. But it comes down to details. When we miss one or two, the opposing team has the opportunity to score and that’s what happened. Our course is beautiful, we are still proud of what we were able to do, even if as competitors we wanted to get this qualification. “It’s given 100%. There is frustration but you have to keep your head up.”
It is therefore Lyon who will challenge FC Barcelona in the Champions League final on May 21. For its part, PSG will console themselves with the Coupe de France. Paris will face in the final on May 15 the modest team of Yzeure (D2F).
