Khalis Merah: First Place Reaction – Hot Take!

This Thursday, Olympique Lyonnais took on PAOK Salonika after a great 4-2 victory. A seventh success in eight matches which allows Paulo Fonseca’s men to finish at the top of the League phase. A satisfaction which Khalis Merah returned to at the microphone of Canal + : «It’s true, we finished first in this campaign, it’s not something to neglect, because we know where we come from. We really want to go far in the competition. We only had one defeat even if it was too many. It’s incredible and today even if we didn’t do everything well, we’re happy to finish first.»

Revealing himself this season with his training club, Khalis Merah also took the opportunity to score his very first professional goal by scoring 2-1: “I am proud to have scored my very first goal. I’m happy, but I hope there will be many more. With Corentin (Tolisso editor’s note) we had a little bet. As you know, Tolisso is a boss of the team and told me that if I scored 2 or 3 goals he would give me a small bag.»
