« We had to win and we had the chances and the situations to do it. Taking the lead against a team that had come to take few risks was necessary and essential. Lens opened the scoring with their only shot of the second half. For our part, the new players energetically gave us a boost to come back and equalise. We didn't need much to win, probably efficiency and authority.

No Europe? The fans are obviously disappointed and that's normal, but people also know that it can be part of the life of a club. The most important thing is to take a good look at things, bounce back and start moving forward again so that we can get back on track towards our major goals. We've still got that match at Reims to play, so we have to be involved in the preparations. Out of respect for everyone, for the fans and for the league.

It's not yet time to take stock. We've lacked a bit of maturity at times, as well as a bit of guile, and we've also lacked the clout in some games to make the most of our strong moments. This match is perhaps the symbol of the season. »
