Still hanging on in the league on Sunday, OL have one of the worst records of the five major European championships.
Clearly, Olympique Lyonnais cannot move forward at all. Eleven days have passed since the start of the season in France and the Rhone team, even if it has one game less, has still not managed to achieve the slightest success.
Lyon is experiencing its worst series in 57 years
Les Gones therefore remain without a victory. And there are only two other teams that present this part in the major championships, namely Almeria (Liga) and Salernitana (Serie A). However, the teams in question still tasted victory in their respective cups. A humiliating statistic that they could have done without.
With four points collected, they are better off than Almeria (3 points) but there is nothing to brag about. And there is even less reason to celebrate as the last 9 teams who only had 4 points after 10 Ligue 1 matches have all gone down to the lower level. The Lyon supporters therefore made no mistake in displaying the “Objective to maintain” banner during the match against Metz.
Note also that this meeting against the Garnets constituted an 11e consecutive match (straddling two seasons) without a victory for Lyon. To find the trace of such a long series in the elite for Les Gones, we have to go back to the 1965/1966 campaign.
