The good news is quite rare these days on the side of Olympique Lyonnais, so it is not to sulk.
On the occasion of the draw for the group stage of the Europa League, OL was the luckiest training. The Gones notably inherited from Betis, the former club of a certain Nabil Fékir. But the rest of the menu seems affordable: Salzburg, Pak, Maccabi Tel Aviv, Basel, Young Boys, Utrecht, Go Ahead Eagles, if we follow the Hats Order.
OL is doing very well
Based on statistical data, and in particular on the indicator calculating the value of the teams, it is simply the most lenient draw among the 36 participants in this group phase.
Among the other French clubs, Lille is also one of the highest -based training. This is not the case, however, for Nice, which inherited one of the most difficult programs, including AS Rome, Porto, Fenerbahçe or Friborg.
It is therefore the good news of the day for OL. The worst is that the workforce could still weaken. Obliged to sell to balance its accounts, the Rhone club could sell its striker Georges Mikautadze to Villarreal.
