Said Benrahma fires warning to Lyon teammates ahead of Rangers Europa League showdown as star makes ‘robbery’ confession
The Ligue 1 outfit defeated Toulouse 2-1 but the Algerian international said they got lucky
Former West Ham United strike star Said Benrahma admitted Lyon got away with “robbery” at the weekend and will have to vastly improve against Rangers.
Philippe Clement’s Light Blues face the French side in their first home game in the Europa League having got off to a flying start last week in Sweden against Malmo. Lyon warned up for the match with a highly fortuitous win at 2-1 Toulouse where they were outplayed for much of the game. And the Algerian international winger admitted they got out of jail.
He said: “Yes, I accept it was a robbery! But the important thing was to win. We need to play better this week against Rangers though. We made a lot of changes in the team and there were guys who hadn’t played much since the start of the season. We have a big squad and have a lot of players who can perform for us. It’s only the start of the season. We’re going to find the real Lyon again.”

But manager Pierre Sage wasn’t satisfied with his side’s performance. He said: “We didn’t produce much and we were nowhere near the levels we should be capable of. I was even surprised when we scored to be honest. But victory is the best fuel and we have the will to go and get a result in Glasgow and then carry it on at home against Nantes.”
