Corentin Tolisso had a historic evening on Thursday by scoring a hat-trick against Maccabi Tel-Aviv in a 6-0 victory. This achievement is a dream come true for the Lyon midfielder, who shared a memorable story after the match with L’Équipe: “With the physios the night before the match, we were watching the Paris game. When Vitinha scored three goals, I told them my dream was to score a hat-trick once in my career, just once.” Without relying on penalties and demonstrating clinical precision, Tolisso made a significant impact, reaffirming his importance in Paulo Fonseca’s strategy. “This was a goal in my career. I’m very happy that it helped the team win,” he added, having also created several dangerous chances before halftime.
The Lyon captain, a scorer and leader for his team, received praise from his coach. “When Coco plays closer to the box, he’s a very dangerous player… near the goal, he’s very effective,” Paulo Fonseca noted. After the match, Tolisso dedicated his hat-trick to Alexandre Lacazette, highlighting the valuable support and advice from his former teammate. It was a memorable night that clearly marks the impressive return of Corentin Tolisso as a decisive and shining player. Is the French national team in his sights? Stay tuned for updates.
