PSG Lasso Lyon [Full Episode]

PSG Talking

Everyone wants to be a cowboy until it's time to do cowboy stuff. John Textor and Olympique Lyonnais learned the hard way that it's one thing to attempt to troll Paris Saint-Germain before kickoff, it's quite another to beat them on the pitch, which no one has done in Ligue 1 so far this season.

On this episode of PSG Talking, I'm joined by Marc Damon to recap PSG's win over Lyon, talk about the UEFA Champions League draw, and debate whether Ligue 1 could play a match in North America.

Up first, it's the 3-2 win over Lyon. PSG jumped out to a lead in the second half, but defensive lapses allowed Lyon to get back into the match late. PSG ultimately were able to hang on for the three points and extend their unbeaten streak, but concerns over Marquinhos and the defense remain. We discuss what we liked and didn't like about PSG's performance.

Up next, we look back to the Champions League Round of 16 draw, where PSG learned they would play Liverpool FC over two legs. We discuss where PSG's strengths and weaknesses lie and whether Luis Enrique's squad could take down the Premier League leaders.

Finally, with the National Football League expanding the number of countries teams will play in next season, we discuss whether Ligue 1 or another top-five league could follow the same model and move a match to a venue in North America.
