Said Benrahma fires warning to Lyon teammates ahead of Rangers Europa League showdown as star makes ‘robbery’ confession.
The Ligue 1 team defeated Toulouse 2-1, but the Algerian international claimed they got lucky.
Said Benrahma, a former West Ham United striker, claimed Lyon got away with “robbery” over the weekend and will need to improve significantly against Rangers.
The Light Blues, led by Philippe Clement, meet the French side in their first home encounter in the Europa League, following a successful start against Malmo in Sweden last week.
Lyon prepared for the match with a fortunate 2-1 victory over Toulouse, despite being outplayed for much of the game. And the Algerian international winger revealed they had gotten out of jail.
He replied, “Yes, I accept it was a robbery! However, the main thing was to win. We need to improve our performance this week against the Rangers. We made many changes to the roster, and there were players who hadn’t played much since the beginning of the season.
We have a large roster and plenty of guys who can perform for us. It is simply the beginning of the season. “We’ll find the real Lyon again.”
But manager Pierre Sage was dissatisfied with his team’s performance. He stated, “We didn’t produce much and were nowhere near the levels we should be capable of. To be honest, I was startled by our score. But winning is the best fuel, and we are determined to win in Glasgow and then continue our momentum at home against Nantes.
