Overview
- Joao Neves scored a stoppage-time header at Groupama Stadium to seal PSG’s 3-2 victory after the teams had been level at 2-2.
- Referee Benoît Bastien showed Nicolas Tagliafico a straight red for a late tackle on Vitinha, a decision confirmed by VAR moments before the deciding corner.
- Lyon assistant Jorge Maciel and technical director Matthieu Louis-Jean denounced the officiating as incoherent, with OL issuing an official statement calling it catastrophic.
- OL highlighted specific incidents they believe were wrongly handled, citing a tussle with Lee Kang-in in the box, a handball by Ilia Zabarnyi, and a foul on Tanner Tessmann in a goal’s buildup.
- The win returned PSG to first place on 27 points, as injuries to Achraf Hakimi, Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue and Nuno Mendes continue to test squad depth heading into the international break.
