Lyon – the shape of the team and its analysis: it was possible to turn the situation around under the leadership of the new coach
“The weavers” failed the first part of the season, even despite finishing in 7th place, which left the ambitious project without European competition. Being under the leadership of Pierre Sage, the fight for survival was replaced with a race for a place at least in the Conference League. There have been only defeats to Lens and just PSG and a draw in the struggle with Reims since February. The victory over Strasbourg allowed the team to finish in 6th position – something the club couldn’t even dream of in winter.
