LFP Media’s Ligue 1+ platform offers an unprecedented vision of French football by offering privileged access to the behind-the-scenes clubs. This initiative, which includes sequences from the arrival of the teams at the stadium to the changing rooms, through the captains’ signature of the match sheet, sparks a debate about the intrusion into club life. Olympique Lyonnais, by the voice of Paulo Fonseca, strongly supports this project, considering that modern fans want a deeper immersion in the daily lives of players. Fonseca, himself a fan of immersive content, sees in Ligue 1+ an opportunity to show the different facets of the team’s work, and promises a season full of discoveries for Lyon fans.

Outside the platform, FC Metz prepares to face Olympique Lyonnais with particular attention to Georges Mikautadze, the club’s leading attacker. Coach Stéphen Lemaignan recognizes Mikautadze’s talent, but assures that he does not have a specific plan to counter him, focusing on general vigilance. He also highlights the offensive quality of several other Metz players, such as Malick Fofrana and Corentin Tolisso, who are able to swing the course of a game. The Messina team, after a recent defeat, hopes to surprise OL, but remains aware of the power of its opponent.

At the same time, significant developments are taking place in the world of football. Botafogo, John Textor’s club, was eliminated from the Copa Libertadores after defeating Quito, despite being a favourite. Textor, the club owner, expresses his determination to win this trophy in the future and reaffirms his confidence in the team and his coach. For his part, Nemanja Matic, after leaving Olympique Lyonnais, joined Sassuolo in Serie A, where he will find Fabio Grosso, his former Lyon coach. This transfer reflects Textor’s ambition to build a club capable of competing with the largest European teams.
