In the shock after the defeat in Manchester, the derby against Saint-Étienne looks explosive

Lyon’s Olympique is going through a difficult period after the crazy defeat (5-4) received on Thursday night in Manchester in the Europa League. Players, it seems, need time to digest this elimination and regain lost confidence. The Rhônian formation must now mobilize all its mental resources to overcome this disappointment and not fall into the end of the season that is approaching in Ligue 1.

Despite the fall of a major goal, OL retains a place in the Champions League to defend. Five games remain to be played, including the derby against the AS Saint-Étienne on Sunday. This game, the 126th in history, will be played on Geoffroy-Guichard’s field, in a context of heightened regional rivalry.

Despite the thirteen separate places between the two clubs, the derby remains a major event. The Stéphanois club announces an exceptional influx: 40,372 spectators are already expected, setting a historic record for the Geoffroy-Guichard stadium. The Greens rely on the massive support of their audience to put pressure on OL and ensure a valuable success in this rivalry game. Atmosphere in Geoffroy-Guichard electric announcement.
