The Lions do not want to relinquish their title! Winners of the 2018 edition during their first appearance at the AccorHotels Arena, the Lyonnais will return to Paris in 2019 thanks to their 4-2 victory in Nice at the end of a hard-fought match.
After leading 2-0 four minutes into the game, the Lions were caught by the Eagles by the end of the first period. A mid-game goal by Thomas Roussel and another by Julien Correia into an empty net with 22 seconds remaining validated Mitja Sivic’s players’ ticket to the semifinals.
