Noah Nartey makes the most of his minutes at Lyon: “He gave a good response”

After his time at Toulouse, Noah Nartey is showing he can turn opportunities into impact for Lyon. As L'Équipe notes, the Dane scored during his second start of the season, on Wednesday against Anderlecht.

Still, the outlet adds that his performances don’t look like they’ll immediately shake up the pecking order in midfield. In other words, for now it’s about delivering when called upon rather than instantly taking someone’s spot.

A goal on his second start

L'Équipe also includes the player’s reaction, with Nartey saying: “Il a donné une bonne réponse.”

It comes in the broader context of Lyon’s European campaign, where minutes can come in bursts and any goal helps both confidence and options for the coaching staff.

The key question now is whether Nartey keeps building on this moment and earns more starts, or whether his role stays more rotational while Lyon continues to rely on its preferred midfield structure. For the time being, his goal is a clear sign that Nartey is ready when he gets the chance.
