Rémi Himbert’s emotional ride at the Vélodrome

On his 18th birthday, Rémi Himbert endured what felt like a Ligue 1 baptism at the Vélodrome and found the net, though his strike ultimately proved insufficient.

Le Progres notes that the Saint-Avold-born forward again showcased his qualities. He had totalled 19 minutes across four outings before this night.

Paulo Fonseca introduced him on 60 minutes, replacing the Ukrainian Yaremchuk.

Himbert then made it Lyon’s second in the 76th minute, a moment that looked to hush the stadium.

The teenager’s impact was clear, even if the goal did not change the outcome. It was the kind of scorching initiation he is unlikely to forget.
