Fournier urges Lyon to play with freedom

Lyon must play with freedom against Bordeaux despite seeing its Ligue 1 title hopes effectively ended last week, says Hubert Fournier.

Hubert Fournier has called on Lyon to play with freedom in its final home game of the season versus Bordeaux after conceding the Ligue 1 title to Paris Saint-Germain.

Fournier's men were beaten 3-0 by Caen last weekend, a result that left the seven-time champions six points adrift of PSG with two games to play and led Fournier to accept that the title was beyond their reach.

PSG will win the championship for a third successive season with a draw at Montpellier, or if Lyon loses to Bordeaux on Saturday.
