Lyon have won Ligue 1 seven times. They used to hold a monopoly over French football until PSG emerged in the 2010s. They are a giant of a club.

But 10 games into the 2023/24 season they are rock bottom of the league having not won a single match.

What on earth has happened to Olympique Lyonnais?

Seb Stafford-Bloor explains. Marco Bevilacqua illustrates.

    Keep calm! THE MIRACLE has come 5 months ago! From the last place by far in november we reach the 6th place and EL qualifying! Right now the club is going to fight for the podium and CL this season

    Lyon supporter here : I think that the main reason is the building of our new stadium : we are the owners of the stadium so its cool bc we can take 100% of benefits made on matchdays and events but we have to pay insane amount of money so while the club need to pay, we can't buy good players since ~2012

    The management under Aulas last years was also really bad :
    transfers like 12M€ on Amin Sarr are unbelievable

    Olympique Lyon used to win consecutive league titles 🤣 you had the odd championship that Marseille popped up or Monaco but usually it was Lyon. How time changes everything

    you guys should do a video-essay on Botafogo situation in the Brasileirão (Brazil's main football competition). They're owned by the same man who bought Lyon (Textor) and they absolutely destroyed the first half of the competition in 2023 (best campaign in history, they had 13pts ahead of the 2nd place, basically eyeing a easy title), but the downfall after October was surreal. It's something we brazilians never saw before.

    It has to be noted that Lyon was already a sinking club just slower. The factors mentionned in this video just made it spectacular.
    It's a club that were once a pioneer i the modern football era.
    It's one of a first club that had people whosejob were taking care of foreign players, to help them adapt in their new country.
    Unfortunately they were too complacent. We are france too club. That's how we became the best so we are not going to change anything. But football changed from 2000 to 2020.

    John Textor is doing a great job with Botafogo so far. Paid a lot of the club's debts and we're serious contenders for the title (flirting with the biggest bottlejob in history) for the first time in 28 years. In less than 2 years, he totally reshaped the club's structure and finances and we as fans, can be disappointed with the result at the end of the season, but it's more than clear that Botafogo is in another path right now.
