UEFA President Michel Platini has dismissed allegations that Lyon’s 7-1 Champions League thrashing of pathetic Dinamo Zagreb was fixed or rigged. He thinks Zagreb goalie had a bad day.

London / NationalTurk – The astonishing result – coupled with Real Madrid’s 3-0 victory over Ajax – took the Olympic Lyon to the last 16, while sending Ajax to play at the lower valued Europe League.

The scoreline and the ease of some of the Lyon goals sparked talk of a fix, match rigging although no suspicious betting patterns were reported.

Lyon Zagrep Match Fixing / Zagreb goalie had a bad day ?

Michel Platini said: “I have no doubts whatsoever about the integrity of the match or the competition. But it’s normal questions will be raised.” ”I think, Dynamo Zagreb goalkeeper had bad form that day” France striker Bafetimbi Gomis hit four goals, including a seven-minute hat-trick, against 10-man Zagreb.

Suspicion was further raised by TV pictures showing Zagreb’s Domagoj Vida apparently winking at Lisandro Lopez after the Argentine hit Lyon’s fifth goal.
