Lyon goalkeeper Lopes laments 'disaster'

The Lyon keeper was disappointed his side failed to maintain their strong start but is not giving up hope in the tie

Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes labelled his team's 4-1 loss to Ajax in their Europa League semi-final first leg as a "disaster".

The Ligue 1 giants are facing a huge battle to reach the final after being well beaten in Amsterdam on Wednesday.

Lyon started brightly enough before a Bertrand Traore brace and goals from Kasper Dolberg and Amin Younes left them in trouble in the tie.

Lopes, whose team had pulled back to 3-1 via Mathieu Valbuena, said it was a woeful result for his side.
