An Amazing journey of Lyonnais to semi final

By Anaswara V Rajan

Lyon into the semi-final after a 3-1 win over Manchester City. It was the last quarter final match in champions league. It was a complicated game. Maxwel Cornet scored the lead goal for Lyon. City came into action with Kevin De Bruyne's goal. Lyon was a bit stronger than them.  Moussa Dembele scored twice in the last 11 minute.
City was not good enough in yesterday's game. They were ramping up the pressure from the first half. Cornet  scores the open goal for Lyon. They hold on their control in the first half itself. With Raheem Sterling's ball back for Bruyne, he scored an equaliser. Through that pretty goal he pull up City to their hope in winning champions leauge. Lyon respond very soon, very well with the the substitute Dembele's double. The second goal of Lyon survived under the VAR. Guardiola's men were utterly down in the game. With two goals Dembele named Man of the Match.
The match was Guardiola's fourth successive failure in Champions League with City. He said "City struggled a lot, but we were not perfect. I feel we were free in the second half." He has no excuses for Manchester City's Champions league exit. Kevin De Bruyne was his usual excellent in the game. But anyhow the loss was disappointing them. They made mistakes inside the boxes too. The confidence level of Lyon was high. They shows their spirit just as they did against Juventus.
It was ten years later the Lyonnais reunites the semi-final of the Champions League. Lyon awaits Bayern Munich in the semi-final. And this is the end of Chanpions League quarter-final this season.

LET’S BLEED BLUE By Anaswara V Rajan I am proud to be an Indian for many reasons and for some other reasons I feel like I should think twice before using the term 'Proud Indian'. And one reason among them is the status of Indian National Football Team.  People in India were more concerned and obsessed with European Football League games and European Championship games than Indian Football matches. Also India praise cricket,  were Football have always placed in the second seat. Even we can seen it in the ticket rate for both the sporting events. The tickets for football matches were sold for very cheap rate. A nation in which football has became a popular sport, still there will not be enough supporters to fill the stadium.  But as of now there is a huge variation in the status of football in India after the arrival of Indian Super League (ISL). ISL is the football league in India which started in 2014, has a huge fan base an...
