'We won the tactical battle' - Lyon boss Garcia delighted after shock Man City win

Lyon coach Rudi Garcia was elated after leading his side to a shock Champions League victory over Manchester City, affirming that he got the best of Pep Guardiola when it came to tactics.

Moussa Dembele's late double sealed a 3-1 triumph for the French side in Saturday's quarter-final clash, after Kevin De Bruyne had earlier cancelled out Maxwel Cornet's opener.

After the fury of seeing Ligue 1 cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic - a decision that left Lyon out of European competition for 2020-1 - they have now disposed of two continental giants, having squeezed past Juventus on away goals in the previous round, leaving Garcia in awe of his battling charges.
