Beşiktaş's victory over Lyon receives extensive coverage in French press: A nightmare night for Lyon

In the 3rd week of the UEFA Europa League, Beşiktaş defeated the French representative Lyon 1-0 away from home. The black-and-white team's victory also received extensive coverage in the French press. Here are the French reactions to the Lyon - Beşiktaş match:

LE FIGARO: "The clumsiness of the Lyonnais against the pragmatism of the Turks..."

"Given the general flow of the match, who would have thought that the Turks would take one point, or even worse, three points from Groupama Stadium? But the Black Eagles managed to do it."

RMC SPORT: "Lyon defeated despite 30 shots and immense dominance"

"Olympique Lyon, despite being the superior side, lost 0-1 at home to Beşiktaş and failed to secure their third victory in the Europa League. Before being punished by Gedson Fernandes' goal, Lyon took 30 shots, hit the post, had a goal disallowed, and saw a penalty decision overturned."

L'EQUIPE: "Despite clear dominance, Lyon defeated at home by Beşiktaş in the Europa League"

"After their two victories against Olympiacos (2-0) and Glasgow Rangers (4-1), Lyon could not maintain their perfect performance in the Europa League. Because they were defeated in a very cruel manner by Beşiktaş on their own turf. They achieved nothing due to clumsiness, lack of power, lack of success, and above all, encountering an Ersin Destanoğlu in top form. Gedson Fernandes scored the only goal of the match. And that was enough for them."

OUEST FRANCE: "End of the streak for Lyon despite clear dominance against Beşiktaş"

"Olympique Lyon was the favorite in the match they played against the bottom-ranked Beşiktaş in the third week of the Europa League. However, despite Lyon's dominance, their ineffectiveness allowed the Turks to take the lead in the second half."

FOOT 01: "Beşiktaş and VAR play a dirty trick on Lyon"

"In a match full of twists and turns, Olympique Lyon was deceived by Beşiktaş and VAR (0-1). Lyon suffered their first defeat of the season in the Europa League."

LE PARISIEN: "29 shots, zero goals, a nightmare night for Lyon, the penalty of inefficiency"

"What a waste! Lyon, who left their opponent far behind for the evening, could not make a difference at home against Beşiktaş and suffered their first defeat (0-1) of this season in the Europa League.

FOOTBALL365: "Beşiktaş surprises Lyon"

"Olympique Lyon was defeated by Beşiktaş in the 3rd week of the Europa League (0-1). After letting the storm pass, Beşiktaş emerged from their lethargy, and Fernandes managed to break the enthusiasm of Groupama Stadium with a quick counter-attack at the last moment."
