Jason Denayer display vs Manchester City shows Celtic should have signed him in the summer

Manchester City lost 1-2 against Lyon in their opening Champions League clash on Wednesday night at the Etihad Stadium.

One of the players who impressed during the game for Lyon was defender Jason Denayer.

Lyon went into the break with a 2-0 lead, with goals coming from Maxwel Cornet and Nabil Fekir who remained at the club despite strong interest from Liverpool during the summer.

After the break, City kept on piling pressure with a barrage of attacks, and although Bernardo Silva scored for City, Lyon managed to preserve the lead thanks to excellent performances from Denayer and Marcelo at centre-back.
