Here are the player ratings from Lyon vs Bayern from the big German and French newspapers following their Champions League semi-final on 19 August, 2020. Bayern won 3-0, thus advancing to a final against Paris Saint-Germain.
Lyon had some good chances according to the xG map, but both Memphis Depay and Karl Toko Ekambi couldn’t make the most of it.
L’Equipe paper player ratings OL FCB
French newspaper L’Equpe gave the trio of Houssem Aouar, Lopes and Leo Dubois a 6/10- every other starter for Olympique Lyonnais got a 3 or 4. The highest rated player on either side was two-goal hero Serge Gnabry, with a 8/10 player rating.
Bild newspaper ratings Lyon vs Bayern Munchen 0-3
Despite his twin misses, Bild actually had Toko Ekambi as the best Lyon player on the pitch. Their highest player ratings (in the German system, 1 is the best), were reserved for Gnabry, Robert Lewandowski and Jerome Boateng.
And in comparison to L’Equipe, who liked Lopes and Aouar’s performances, Bild felt the duo were poor on the day.
