Katoto eager for Lyon v Chelsea test at Groupama Stadium | OneFootball

Lyon have quickly turned their focus to a home Champions League meeting with Chelsea on Wednesday 30 September, matchday two, soon after beating Servette, with Marie-Antoinette Katoto to the fore.

According to Le Progres, Chelsea’s visit will bring several familiar faces, with a number of former Lyon figures now on the visitors’ side. Lyon also brushed aside Paris FC 7-1 in the league.

Katoto said it will be a major test against a very strong side and that the squad want to deliver a very good performance.

She added that playing at home makes it special, that they expect a big crowd to push them on and that they are hoping for a fine evening.

The forward also highlighted the reunions, naming Sonia Bompastor and Camille Abily as legends of French football, and said the group would be delighted to see them again.

Beyond the reunions, the match should examine the resilience of Lyon’s new 3-4-3 against opponents who aim for the title.
