Dumornay won the Player of the Match award in both legs of Lyon's 5-3 aggregate semi-final win over Paris Saint-Germain.

The Barcelona midfielder has won the award for the second season in a row following another stellar campaign.
UEFA's Technical Observer panel has named Barcelona's Aitana Bonmatí as the 2023/24 UEFA Women's Champions League Player of the Season for the second season in succession.
With six goals and six assists, the 26-year-old player had 12 goal contributions – more than any other player this season – and was named Player of the Match after scoring in Barcelona's 2-0 final victory against Lyon, UEFA's Technical Observer panel explaining: "She influenced the game all over the pitch in and out of possession. High progressive passes, high ball recoveries and scored a great goal."
Speaking after the game, Bonmatí said: "Anyone who knows me will say to you, 'She'll never have enough.' I'm such an ambitious person. I'm almost never satisfied with my work, and I always want more. But I try to treasure these moments more and more and I've enjoyed this season the most."
With Bonmatí having won the 2022/23 award, and team-mate Alexia Putellas winning the inaugural award in 2021/22, all three Women's Champions League Players of the Season so far have been Barcelona players.

Kano State deputy governor, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam, has apologised to the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, over a statement he made alleging that the latter provided the security cover for the deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, to re-enter the city to foment trouble.
Kano State deputy governor, Comrade Aminu Abdussalam, has apologised to the National Security Adviser (NSA), Nuhu Ribadu, over a statement he made alleging that the latter provided the security cover for the deposed Emir of Kano, Aminu Ado Bayero, to re-enter the city to foment trouble.
The deputy governor made the apology while addressing a press conference early Monday morning at the Government House in Kano.
The deputy governor explained that he had to acknowledge that they were misled into making the allegation against Ribadu, saying: “We apologise to the National Security Adviser, his person and office for any embarrassment and inconveniences this might have caused him.”
He stated they were shocked from the beginning when Ribadu’s name was mentioned in the plot to impose the deposed Emir on Kano using federal government might.
The deputy governor noted that knowing his pedigree and integrity, Ribadu will never come out to deny the plot or his involvement if he was actually involved in it.
“We are humans and can err at any time. On my behalf and the Governor of Kano State, I want to assure the NSA that we are assuring him of our continued support and cooperation in discharging his duty as the NSA.
“We were really worried and shocked when we found out that he was not behind the plan to forcefully impose a dethroned Emir on Kano, so we apologise,” he said.
The deputy governor finally called on President Bola Tinubu to thoroughly investigate the happenings in Kano State over the Kano Emirship tussle to ensure that peace reigns.
mfm04622: They charged for the services before stopping. I paid 500 Naira for ticket from Idu to the airport for the Metro. Which cheaper than taking taxi to the airport. I also paid same amount from Idu to the Central Area. Idu is the last station for the train from Kaduna.
Well, the people that were running it said that they didn't, so it's possible that the workers cheated you.

FACTCHECK:
This is a comprehensive note to provide the FACTS about #AbujaMetro aka Abuja Mass Transit Rail. You won't find all these details in one place anywhere else.
The forthcoming #AbujaMetro event is NOT a "Commissioning." The FCTA is NOT calling it a commissioning—their statement says it is a "Commencement of Commercial Operations."
Key Phrase there is "Commercial Operations".
Between the Commissioning in 2018, and Covid in 2020, the #AbujaMetro ran what you can call a trial service or test-run. (Normal stuff -- Recall that the Lagos Blue Line also did a test-run between February 2023 and September 2023, when full commercial operations kicked off).
#AbujaMetro was commissioned by @MBuhari on July 12, 2018 -- Photos attached. It is the FIRST "Mass Rapid Transit" (MRT) system in West Africa, ahead of Dakar and Lagos. The project was completed by FCT Minister Muhammad Musa Bello: x.com/ngrpresident/s…
Operations were suspended during Covid, and the project subsequently suffered significant vandalisation.
Here's what the then Permanent Secretary, FC, Olusade Adesola said during a visit on October 30, 2022: "You will recall that the project was TEST RUN shortly after it was commissioned and thereafter, the advent of the COVID pandemic resulted in a forced closure and suspension of the operations."
This is what the Director of Transportation of FCTA, Joseph Akinteye said, on August 5, 2023: “Unfortunately, the TRIAL SERVICE ended abruptly in March 2020 due to the advent of COVID-19 pandemic and its extant protocols..."
