They had left their supporters with a historic feat. Victorious over Real Madrid on December 20 in the Champions League (0-1), the Paris FC players went on Christmas vacation after a high-level match. This is another one that awaits them for the resumption, since the Ile-de-France players travel to the pitch of Olympique Lyonnais this Wednesday for the 12th day of D1 Arkema.
Surprising runner-up to OL, the PFC had an excellent start to the season, marked by eight victories in eleven championship matches. A journey that Sandrine Soubeyrand and her flock have doubled with exceptional performances on a European scale: after eliminating Arsenal and Wolfsburg, finalist of the last edition, in the play-offs, the residents of Stade Charléty managed to bring down Real twice Madrid in the group stage.
But the Parisiennes will have to achieve a new feat to bring down the Lyon monster: with eleven successes in eleven contested matches, the Rhodaniennes have had an immaculate start to the year. They had also crushed Gaëtane Thiney and his teammates during the first leg, winning 6-1 on November 5. Better, Sonia Bompastor’s players have only conceded two goals in eight games at Groupama Stadium this season.
The Lyon-Paris FC women’s game will kick off this Wednesday, January 10 at 9 p.m. The meeting will be broadcast on Canal + Foot.
