The Lyon team played a friendly game against Bayern Munich, bowing to the 2-1 score. Despite a loss and individual mistakes, including two goals conceded at the beginning of the game and a fault of hand, goaltender Rémy Descamps felt that the team had responded well to a very strong Bayern Munich team. He stressed the quality of the game and the courage displayed by the players, while expressing his satisfaction with the overall performance despite questionable arbitral decisions. Descamps also discussed the composition of the team for the coming season, wishing to prove that there is no need to recruit a replacement for Lucas Perrin, who left in Leeds.

Coach Paulo Fonseca strongly criticized the arbitration of the meeting, which he judged partial in favour of Bayern Munich. However, he stressed the importance of focusing on the performance of his team, despite the errors in arbitration. Fonseca expressed disappointment at the result, but stressed the courage and determination of the players, as well as the defensive and offensive progress observed. He also mentioned the expected reinforcements, including Tyler Morton and Pavel Sulc, and his desire to integrate a new guard and offer Georges Mikautadze competition to attack.

This friendly match was also an opportunity for Bayern Munich fans to demonstrate their support for OL and to denounce the management of the former Lyon owner, John Textor, as well as the economic model of multi-ownership. A banner was deployed at the Allianz Arena, clearly expressing the criticism of this management and calling for the defence of independent clubs. After an intense internship in Austria and this preparation match, the Lyon team will enjoy two days of rest before returning to training for their first Ligue 1 match against Getafe.
