Olympique Lyonnais continues its preparation for the new season with a prestigious friendly match. The team will compete at Bayern Munich, one of the most successful European clubs, during a trip to Germany on 2 August. This meeting, organized at the Allianz Arena, represents a major challenge for the Lyons and is an excellent level test to assess their summer preparation. The announcement of this match reflects OL’s ambition to compete with the best teams on the continent before the championship kick-off.

This friendly meeting marks the resumption of a historic duel between Olympique Lyonnais and Bayern Munich. The last match between the two clubs dates back five years, specifically on August 19, 2020, in the semifinal of the Final Four of the Champions League. On this occasion, OL had suffered a clear defeat on the score of 3-0 against the Bavarian team, a memory that certainly motivates Lyon players to surpass themselves in this new match.

This friendly match is therefore more than just physical preparation. This is an opportunity for Olympique Lyonnais to test its strategies, strengthen team cohesion and measure its current level against a leading opponent. The meeting at the Allianz Arena promises to be an important moment for Lyon players and fans, and a valuable indicator of the club’s progress for the coming season.
