Olympique Lyonnais prepares to face Manchester United this Thursday as part of the Europa League, a meeting full of history and expectations. Despite a difficult season for the Red Devils in the Premier League, the English team maintains an important aura, but the consultants of the show “As long as there are gones” are confident of OL’s ability to master this confrontation. The Lyon team has demonstrated solidarity and complementarity, especially among offensive players, which may well be decisive for winning and qualifying.

The experts’ analysis points to a lack of unity and cohesion within the workforce of the country, contrasting with the positive dynamics and the decomplexed game displayed by the Lyon players. If Old Trafford’s historic atmosphere can intimidate, the former players recall that it is not as intimidating as some imagine, and that the priority will be to stay focused on the principles of play and pragmatism. Nemanja Matic’s contribution, although appreciated, raises questions about his race volume, allowing for a potential titularization of a more athletic player.

Finally, the prospect of Malick Fofana returning to the bench adds an additional dimension to Paulo Fonseca, while the tandem of Almada and Cherki embodies the hope of a Lyon victory. The French team tackles this meeting with renewed confidence, conscious of its ability to overcome the challenges and climb to the semi-finals of the Europa League.
