Lyon forward Bertrand Traore rues missed chances against Barcelona

Lyon failed to convert their chances to secure victory against Barcelona in the first leg of their round of 16 fixture, Bertrand Traore has admitted.

The Kids had opportunities to break the deadlock in the first-half but Marc-Andre ter Stegen’s brilliance between the sticks kept both sides levelled before the interval.

In the second half, Lyon put up in a decent performance in the defence by neutralizing their visitors’ attacking trio of Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez and Ousmane Dembele from wreaking havoc.

Traore was in action for 69 minutes before he was replaced by Lucas Tousart and the Burkina Faso international has expressed satisfaction with the team’s overall display.
