Lyon's Ligue 1 title chances faded further as they suffered a 4-2 defeat at home to Montpellier. Laurent Depoitre says Gent's win against Lyon shows they have the potential to qualify from their Champions League group. A late winner by Kalifa Coulibaly gave Gent a victory against Lyon and enough points to hurry ahead of Valencia in the group. Nabil Fekir is dreaming of earning a hurry to Barcelona once he returns from a cruciate ligament injury and the Lyon attacker has not yet given up hope of making Euro 2016.
Fekir,22, underwent surgery in September after hurting his apt knee in Portugal while making his first start for France.
Lyon have struggled in the absence of last season's Ligue 1 Player of the Year, or with club president Jean Michel-Aulas suggesting that whether Fekir had been playing they would not have crashed out of Europe.
