Habib Beye estimated that Stade Rennais had been upgraded by Olympique Lyonnais on the 31st day of Ligue 1 (4-1). For him, the Bretons were unable to compete with OL and were largely outclassed. “There is no debate, defeat is deserved, it could have been even more important,” he said at a press conference.
The years pass and Olympique Lyonnais continues to be a major force in the Champions League. The Fenottes won an important match against Arsenal (2-1) and are qualified for a new Champions League final, where they could face FC Barcelona. Lindsey Heaps stressed OL’s regularity over the years, explaining that “everything we do every day prepares us for these moments”.
The end of the season in Ligue 1 is completely crazy and every day gives a rocky scenario. The PSG is sure to be qualified for the Champions League, but behind the race remains unsettled until the end. After their victory against Rennes (4-1), OL is provisional fourth, but will have to wait for Lille’s result in Angers to know its place after this 31st day. The Champions League race promises and the slightest false step can be fatal."
