Maxwel Cornet has admitted he enjoys playing against the best clubs in the game after Olympique Lyon clinched a massive 3-1 win over Manchester City in the quarter-finals of the Champions League on Saturday.
The Ivorian winger set the ball rolling in the 24th minute with a beautiful strike from outside the 18-yard area which caught City goalkeeper Ederson off guard. Kevin De Bruyne equalised for the Citizens in the 69th minute, but Moussa Dembele came off the bench to score a brace in the closing 11 minutes.
Cornet’s strike was his fourth against Pep Guardiola-led City in the Champions League, equalling Barcelona icon Lionel Messi’s tally as the player to score the most goals when facing the Sky Blues under the Catalan tactician’s watch.
