The reserva fashion phenomenon against Thiago Almada seems to be beginning to lose its strength since mid-January and the arrival of the Argentine international in OL. While Ligue 1 clubs followed this trend, some such as Nantes, Montpellier or Le Havre resisted. However, these are mainly the formations that have recently dealt with OL on the transfer market, such as Stade Rennais who preferred not to stir the knife in the wound concerning this file.

In another context, two supporters of AS Saint-Étienne will be tried on 13 October for throwing a coin to an arbitrator during the Ligue 1 derby between ASSE and OL. The first 28-year-old acknowledged the facts while the second denied the charges against him. Both will respond to aggravated incidents of violence followed by total incapacity for work not exceeding 8 days and projectiles that pose a danger to human safety. They are under judicial control and are prohibited from holding or carrying a weapon, as well as from appearing at and around Geoffroy-Guichard Stadium. The two men will also have to report to the Saint-Étienne police station on the official AS Saint-Étienne match days, at their time and including the so-called outdoor matches. The assistant referee, the professional football league, the French Football Federation and the AS Saint-Étienne formed civil parties.
