This weekend will be crucial for Olympique Lyonnais (OL). First of all, the men will have to face Rennes (26/04, 21:05) if they want to get back to the victory and maintain their hopes of qualifying in the Champions League next season. The next day (27/04, 6 p.m.) it will be OL women’s turn to shine on the European stage. Under Joe Montemurro, the players will have to confirm their advantage won last week in London against Arsenal (1-2) with a win led by Melchie Dumornay. This qualification for the final in Lisbon on 24 May is now at hand.

Vincent Ponsot, general manager of OL Women, announced that more than 16,000 spectators will be present at Parc OL for the return match. The number could increase by Sunday. As with the OL-Rennes match, Parc OL will not be served by tram, but relay buses will be available with service until 10:15 pm.

For this meeting, OL innovates once again by welcoming two DJs who will lead the pre-game and post-game. Lyon artist XLR Music will be on the stage at 5:30 p.m., half an hour before the kick-off, while his world-famous Feder will take over after the game to make the spectators who have chosen to stay dance. But for this, the Fenottes will have to win or at least qualify at the beginning of the evening.
