The victory at Auxerre (1-3) on Sunday evening represents a significant advance for Olympique Lyonnais in the Ligue 1 race. Thanks to this success, the Rhodanian team found itself in a single unit of the first trio, a qualifying position for the Champions League that it had not occupied for nearly four years. This performance, as part of the continuity of recent encounters, shows a clear improvement in the game and the determination of the team, allowing to get closer to the goal so much hoped for.

Despite a first half marked by a lack of efficiency in front of the goal, despite the opportunity of Alexandre Lacazette’s goal, the Lyon fans, present in numbers, saw an increased mastery of the team in the second period. This collective victory, obtained in Burgundy, allowed to meet the expectations and confirm the ability of Paulo Fonseca players to meet the challenges. L’Olympique Lyonnais is thus in a favorable position, although this progress must be confirmed until the end of the season.

The opportunity to join the top 4 presented itself to Olympique Lyonnais several times during this season, but it was elusive until Sunday. This fourth attempt finally paid off, allowing the team to regain a qualifying place for the Champions League, a first since March 2021. The team is now in an intense fight with competitors like AS Monaco and Olympique de Marseille, but this victory is an important step towards a more promising future.
