Olympique Lyonnais finished off Paris Saint-Germain by a 1-0 final score in their recent encounter. The fixture was most notable from Neymar’s injury, but Lyon goalkeeper Anthony Lopes had one comedic lowlight earlier in the game.

Lopes took on a foul by Neymar in the penalty box and after being bumped by the forward, he decided to roll on the ground. But it was not just one or two rolls for Lopes. Instead, he was quite a bit extra after being slightly fouled.

Lopes spoke to RMC Sport about the sequence during the fixture. The French goalkeeper did allude that he was a bit extra in his reaction after taking on the foul.

Lopes’ reaction did essentially work to his benefit as Neymar earned a yellow card for the foul. And while Lopes did mention to being hurt from it, he did not suffer a significant injury as he finished off the game.
