Lyon boss Fournier concedes Ligue 1 title

Hubert Fournier said Lyon do not deserve to win the 2014-15 Ligue 1 crown after leaving Paris Saint-Germain on the verge of yet another title.

Lyon were swept aside 3-0 at Caen on Saturday, as the French club's title aspirations were left in tatters.

"We missed the game. We came up against a very good team that showed us the values," Fournier was quoted as saying post-game by Lyon's official website.

"We had a lot of failure, and complacency at times. This is trickier. This is a logical defeat. Caen deserved to win.

"There also may have a pressure that is on our shoulders for weeks. It is a disappointment because Paris flies away. When you lose 3-0 at Caen, we do not deserve the title."
