I think there is no offside

“In football, you have to be focused from the beginning to the end because after we see what happens.” Lille were also fortunate not to have surrendered all three points during the close stages.

 Bastia substitute Florian Raspentino thought he had netted the match-winner after he was on hand to tuck away Djibril Cisse’s effort but his goal was controversially ruled out for offside.

 Goalkeeper Mickael Landreau, who spent three years with Lille, believed the linesman made the wrong decision after viewing the incident post-game. 

“I think there is no offside,” said the 34-year-old France international. “This is quite surprising (the linesman raises his flag) because it really shows that there is a defender in front of Florian Raspentino.

 “Given the rank and importance of these three points, it is normal that there is a lot of anger.”
