Lyon chief Aulas takes aim at Bordeaux boss Blanc

OUTSPOKEN Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has added to the antagonism surrounding tonight’s Champions League quarter-final against Bordeaux by poking fun at Les Girondins boss Laurent Blanc.

Tension between the Ligue 1 rivals has increased over the past week following a squabble over the scheduling of Lyon’s weekend game against Grenoble.

Les Gones were hoping to play the fixture on Friday night, 24 hours before Bordeaux’s Coupe de la Ligue final against Marseille, but were forced to play at the same time as their European opponents after Bordeaux lodged a complaint with the French league.
