⭐️ Europa League: the three standout men of the night | OneFootball

End of the first day of C3! Let’s look back at the 3 standout individuals who stole the show tonight.

🥉 Olivier Giroud (Lille)

He is simply ETERNAL! Rested ahead of next Sunday’s crucial home match against OL, Olivier Giroud still put on the hero’s cape. On the end of a magnificent cross from Tiago Santos, the top scorer for Les Bleus rose to 2.5 meters to power in a header that gave the opposing goalkeeper no chance, freeing the 18,000 Lille supporters. A fiery entrance that allowed a struggling LOSC to take all three points.

🥈Mathys de Carvalho (Lyon)

He is 18 years younger than the first mentioned. Yet, for his first professional start, Mathys de Carvalho showed tremendous maturity, along with remarkable physical effort. Out of 13 duels contested, the young Gone won 10, imposing his authority in midfield.

Also worth noting was the liberating entrance of Tanner Tessmann, who fired in a missile in the 75th minute.

🥇 Anass Zaroury (Celtic Glasgow)

After a rather mixed spell at Lens, Anass Zaroury decided to bounce back at Celtic Glasgow. Tonight, that choice seems particularly rewarding. The Moroccan put on a true masterclass on the pitch of the Young Boys of Bern, making a huge contribution to the Scottish victory by scoring the first hat-trick of his young career. An unpredictable rebirth?
