Lyon supporters do not hide their dissatisfaction. After elimination in the quarterfinals of the Europa League, against Manchester United, then defeat during the derby against AS Saint-Etienne, Olympique Lyonnais experienced a week of disillusionment.
Faced with this situation, the supporters did not hesitate to show their annoyance by displaying two banners at the training center this Thursday morning. On one of them, you could read there: “From pride to shame, 4 games for the podium! »». This banner echoes the current situation of the Rhone club.
While the Gones hoped to go to the end of the C3, and thus obtain a qualification in the Champions League for next season, they only have the hope of finishing in the first four of Ligue 1.. This would eventually allow them to participate in the next edition of the C1. Currently sixth in the championship, two points from the fourth, Lille, and three units behind AS Monaco, third, the players of Paulo Fonseco are aware that they are no longer entitled to error during these last four matches.
What end of the season for OL?
If OL does not qualify in the Champions League, it will then be an economic disaster, in addition to a sports fiasco. With savings in the red, John Textor's club more than ever needs a C1 qualification. The Gones bads did not hesitate to tackle the management of the American by sending him a more than clear message on a second banner. “Without a cash at the end of the season, Molenbeek?” Botafogo? Lyon? Who will be the pigeon? »»could we read.
Faced with this pressure, Lyon players and leaders know what they have to do: win the last four games of the season. OL will have to overcome Rennes, Lens, Angers and its Monegasque direct competitor.
