In his last friendly match before the start of the season, Olympique Lyonnais won a 2-1 win over the Getafe CF. Georges Mikautadze, the Lyon attacker, stressed the physical nature of the game, describing it as a “UFC match” where the team had to face many mistakes and an aggressive opponent team. Despite this, he believes that the team managed to produce a nice game and that the pre-season was positive, even if they could have avoided defeating Bayern Munich. Mikautadze, former FC Metz player, expresses his enthusiasm for the new season and his desire to contribute to the team’s victory by being decisive and defending.

The story of Mohamed Yattaara illustrates an unusual trajectory in the world of football. After several loan trips in France, he explored different leagues in Europe and the Middle East, notably in China and Armenia, before joining SC Zakho in Iraq. This decision marks a new stage in his career, after long struggled to win OL against fierce competition. His journey shows a constant search for opportunities and a willingness to move forward, even by moving away from the traditional European championships.

After a post-preparation rest period, OL team is actively preparing to face Lens in the first Ligue 1 game. Coach Paulo Fonseca stresses the need to resume the competition as best as possible, with five intensive training sessions planned before the trip. The match against the Getafe was particularly physical, with many mistakes and a notable assault on Georges Mikautadze. Despite these difficulties, the team managed to win and prepare its game for the coming season, with the goal of winning as many games as possible and contributing to collective success.
