PSG lost to Lyon in Ligue 1 on Sunday. Striker Endrick played a dirty trick on the European champions, even if his attitude irritated right-back Achraf Hakimi.
Paris Saint-Germain lost to Lyon this Sunday night in Ligue 1. While Luis Enrique's men generally dominated proceedings, they were uninspired collectively and in the final touch.
The complete opposite of motivated Gones who were never more eager to take advantage of the Parisian wanderings. Endrick notably opened the scoring early in the match.
Subsequently, he provided the assist that allowed the Gones to double their lead. Throughout the match, the player loaned out by Real Madrid used his talent and cunning to get under the skin of some Parisians. This was the case for Hakimi, who gave the young Lyonnais a few reprimands during the match.
Coming off the defeat against Lyon, the Moroccan fullback reflected on a small incident that had occurred with Endrick. The former Inter player admitted in remarks reported by AS that he had put Endrick in his place:
"Why did I tell Endrick to calm down? Those are things that happen during a match. We are not going to focus on opposing players. I wanted my team to stay focused and for him to stop doing things aimed at our supporters. He devoted himself to football, especially because he is a good player. But when he does things that have nothing to do with football, it can annoy me, especially because we were trailing on the scoreboard."
Be that as it may, Endrick can take this outing at the Parc des Princes as a reference match for himself. Lyon is third in Ligue 1 and, once again, is heading toward Champions League qualification. PSG, for its part, will have to pull itself together and get the machine running again. That works out well, FC Nantes will arrive in the capital this Wednesday in a Ligue 1 makeup match.
