Jean-Michel Aulas could not be everywhere at the same time and he had to decide between attending the final of the Coupe de France between OL and PSG this Saturday, or going to support the Lyon players who are competing in the C1 final the same day.
Although he may have achieved great things throughout his career as president of Olympique Lyonnais, Jean-Michel Aulas cannot yet perform miracles and multiply himself. The schedule has not been kind to the former OL boss since this Saturday, the Lyonnais will play the final of the Coupe de France against Paris Saint-Germain (9 p.m.), while the Lyonnaises will be opposed a few hours earlier to FC Barcelona, in the final of the Champions League (6 p.m.). Jean-Michel Aulas had to make a choice.
And as indicated The Team, the man who today holds the position of vice-president of the FFF therefore favored a trip to Villeneuve-d’Ascq to support Pierre Sage’s men. Also head of the Women’s Football League, he nevertheless tried to do his best to attend both events, but the affair was simply impossible to achieve. “ I would really like to do bothhe lamented in the sports daily. But I looked, and it really wasn’t logistically possible. »
Two mountains
It therefore remains to be seen whether Jean-Michel Aulas will have made the right choice. The two Lyon teams will in any case have a lot to do, each on their own. Faced with the Parisian ogre, eager to win again in the Coupe de France after having failed to conquer this trophy during the last two seasons, Alexandre Lacazette and his team will not leave with the label of favorite. However, their excellent second half of the season can allow them to believe in it.
On the women’s side, the Champions League final that Selma Bacha and her teammates are preparing to play against Alexia Putellas’ FC Barcelona does not look like a cakewalk either. The Lyonnaises can, however, remember that they have never lost to the Catalan team. Jean-Michel Aulas will encourage them through thought.
