This Maxwel Cornet miss vs Dijon was a bad open goal missed chance from the Lyon wingback in their 4-1 win over DFCO on 28 August, 2020. The Cornet miss vs DFCO came in the 73rd minute- great work in the buildup from Rayan Cherki. It didn’t affect the scoreline, but this should’ve been a goal. Bizarrely seemed to aim it more as a clearance rather than a shot

French newspaper L’Equpe gave the trio of Houssem Aouar, Lopes and Leo Dubois a 6/10- every other starter for Olympique Lyonnais got a 3 or 4. The highest rated player on either side was two-goal hero Serge Gnabry, with a 8/10 player rating.
Bild newspaper ratings Lyon vs Bayern Munchen 0-3
Despite his twin misses, Bild actually had Toko Ekambi as the best Lyon player on the pitch. Their highest player ratings (in the German system, 1 is the best), were reserved for Gnabry, Robert Lewandowski and Jerome Boateng.
And in comparison to L’Equipe, who liked Lopes and Aouar’s performances, Bild felt the duo were poor on the day.
