At 34, Eugénie Le Sommer started the season with two goals and two assists in two matches with OL. Enough to remind us of her importance among the Fenottes while the French international came out of the eleven during the decisive matches last season.
After her great World Cup in Australia, with three goals scored until the quarter-finals and the elimination of the French women’s team on penalties against the Australians, and while she intends to compete in the football tournament of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games next year, Eugénie Le Sommer, 34, started the season off to a flying start with OL.
After her goal and her decisive pass against PSG last Sunday, during the Trophée des champions, the top scorer in the history of OL and Les Bleues scored the first goal of D1 Arkema, with a superb recovery, against Le Havre, Friday evening. “ELS” was then the decisive passer for Daniëlle Van de Donk on the 3rd goal for Fenottes, who won 4-0.
The magnificent goal signed Eugénie Le Sommer 👏

Sonia Bompastor’s Lyonnaises are armed to fly through the French championship, with the arrivals of Kadidiatou Diani, the best French player since the 2019 World Cup, stolen from the Parisian rival, as well as the Haitian prodigy Melchie Dumornay, recruited at the Stade de Reims. They are currently playing without their Norwegian striker Ada Hegerberg, who is unavailable, which allows Le Sommer to play up front.
In any case, the French international is in great shape even though she lost her place in the big matches last season. She only played 45 minutes of the double confrontation against Chelsea in the quarter-finals of the Champions League (for elimination), did not start the final of the Coupe de France against PSG and was not even did not come into play during the “title match” won against the Rouge et Bleu, on the penultimate day.
