Following an encouraging victory against the Auxerre team, a particularly warm moment of camaraderie took place between Georges Mikautadze and Rayan Cherki. The atmosphere within the Lyon group has been undeniably positive for several weeks, a dynamic that translates into tangible improvement on the ground. The success at Auxerre, on the score of 3 goals to 1, allowed Olympique Lyonnais to advance in the standings and revive the hope of a qualifying for the Champions League, waiting for the crucial return match against Manchester United on Thursday.

Georges Mikautadze’s excellent performance at this meeting is due, according to Rayan Cherki, to an unexpected event: an improvised barbecue. After the meeting, the Georgian lent himself to a brief interview for OL TV before his young teammate took the microphone to reveal the origin of this success. In an exchange full of lightness and humour, Rayan Cherki greeted her teammate in Georgian before revealing the cause of this brilliant form: a barbecue organized in the hotel parking lot, decorated with meats selected by himself.

This interaction illustrates the growing and harmonious relationship between these two players, whose complicity translates into an increasingly effective understanding on the ground. This positive state of mind and encouraging dynamics suggest a promising end of season for Olympique Lyonnais, and suggest an additional barbecue organized at the airport, inviting young people from their neighbourhood.
