What They're Saying
Bordeaux manager Willy Sagnol (via Ligue 1): "There's a lot of frustration and anger. A lot of frustration because we were never really in danger [against Nantes] and we still conceded two goals, and a lot of anger because we simply stopped playing in the second half."
Lyon manager Hubert Fournier: "The top two, Marseille and Paris [Saint-Germain], are really setting a furious pace. We'll have a great challenge next Sunday in Bordeaux, against a rival for the European places."
