Olympique Lyonnais won a crucial match against Olympique de Marseille (1-0) in his last home match, a success made even more poignant by the presence of Georges Mikautadze, attacking Georgian who left the club for financial reasons. Mikautadze, visibly moved, attended the meeting from the stands, where he was warmly acclaimed by the supporters. This victory is also a tribute to the memory of Bernard Lacombe, emblematic figure of the club, celebrated before the match with a tifo and a minute of silence. The team wore flogged jerseys of the number 9 of Lacombe and the fake kick-off was given by his sons.

The match against Marseille was played, with several highlights. OM was reduced to 10 men, and the goal of the victory was scored on a counterattack, a goal against his Leonardo Balerdi camp. Despite the difficulties, OL showed a great determination and a remarkable defensive strength, remaining undefeated and without a goal this season. The players expressed their support for Mikautadze, stressing the importance of his contribution to the club and the sadness of seeing him leave. Nicolas Tagliafico praised the team spirit and collective effort that allowed this victory.

OL’s future looks promising, with the possibility of stepping up the attack during the next mercato. The team prepares to face Stade Rennais on 14 September after the international truce. The victory against Marseille is a reward for the work done by the entire team and a positive sign for the coming season. The presence of new talents like Martin Satriano, also present at the match, suggests continuity and ambition for the future of the club.
