July 11, 2009 marks a turning point in the history of Olympique Lyonnais with the arrival of Lisanandro López from FC Porto. The Lyon club made a substantial investment of €24 million to secure Argentine talent, a record transfer for the time. During the four seasons that he will spend in the white colours, Licha, as he is nicknamed, will quickly become the iconic player of the Gerland Stadium. His performance on the ground will be remarkable, with 82 goals and 24 assists in 168 meetings, demonstrating constant efficiency and commitment.

In addition to his impressive statistics, López distinguished himself by his impeccable state of mind and combativeness. He was a player willing to sacrifice himself for the team, driven by a desire for victory that galvanized fans. This dedication and passion marked his long-term transition to OL. The most memorable moment of his Lyon career came in the 2012 Coupe de France final against Quevilly, where he scored the only goal of the match, ensuring the 5th Coupe de France for the club.

The year 2012 will also be very successful for Lisanandro López and Olympique Lyonnais. The club also won its 8th Champions Trophy against Montpellier, after a final that was contested and decisive in the shots on the goal. These two titles represent Licha’s only winners with the Lyon jersey, memories he has never forgotten. His passage to OL will therefore remain engraved in the memory of the fans as a period of success and passion.
