Faced with the difficulties encountered by the supporters of Strasbourg, particularly regarding the multi-ownership of the club, the fans of Olympique Lyonnais expressed their solidarity. This action, symbolized by a banner in the match against Angers, shows mutual recognition among the different communities of supporters in the face of the same structural problems that threaten the sustainability of their clubs. The indignation of the Strasbourg fans at the imminent departure of a player, whom they see as a consequence of multi-ownership, echoes OL’s concerns, which recently separated from a structure linked to the same system. This solidarity is also reflected in the sanctions taken by the Strasbourg leadership against groups of protestors.

Olympique Lyonnais won his first Ligue 1 match against Angers (1-0), a major success after a previous setback. Player Malick Fofrana highlighted the team’s ability to bounce back after this defeat and the current good group dynamics. He highlighted the improvement of the Lyon defence, which is now among the best in the league, and the successful integration of new recruits. Fofrana also stressed the importance of patience and teamwork to achieve positive results, while remaining humble and focused on future challenges, including Europa League matches.

The victory against Angers marks an encouraging start to the season for Olympique Lyonnais, who has accumulated 12 points in 5 games. The defensive improvement of the team is particularly notable, with 4 clean sheets, and contributes to a positive atmosphere within the group. Players now focus on the continuity of this work and the consolidation of their position in the league. With the club’s financial problems appearing behind them, the team is fully mobilized to succeed this new season.
