Things are going bad, even very bad at Olympique Lyonnais. This Sunday, the Lyonnais played the match of fear once morest Clermont in Ligue 1 at Groupama Stadium.

Beaten by Clermontois (1-2), the Lyonnais are quite simply dead last in the French Ligue 1 championship with only three points on the clock and no victory. The specter of relegation to Ligue 2 is increasingly present on the Lyon side even if its president, John Textor does not want to wait to talk regarding it at the moment. The French Lose Federation (FFL) is obviously enjoying the situation and is tweeting a lot regarding the situation in Lyon, not without humor as usual. In one of them, AS Saint-Étienne even took a lost ball when the FFL considered that Clermont Foot was the best team in Auvergne Rhône-Alpes.

If, from a sporting point of view, this is currently the case since Clermont is penultimate in Ligue 1 just ahead of Lyon and AS Saint-Étienne and other clubs in the region are in Ligue 2, Saint-Etienne supporters will inevitably be irritated at reading this.

On social networks, more and more people are speaking out regarding the situation in Lyon and are discussing the possibility of a play-off between AS Saint-Étienne and Olympique Lyonnais at the end of the season. This is particularly what was predicted Raymond Domenech on the set of The Evening Team a few weeks ago : “I’ve been saying it since the start of the championship: they’re going to play the play-offs once morest Saint-Étienne! OL in danger of relegation? For me this is obvious for many reasons. The first is their workforce. It is a more than average, weak workforce. When I compare it to other teams, they have nothing. When I see this defense… Tagliafico he is world champion… But Messi had to be exceptional. It is catastrophic! They have less physical intensity than these teams which at least make an impact. They have nothing, they are completely diluted, they each play in their own corner.”

For AS Saint-Étienne and Olympique Lyonnais to find themselves in the play-offs, AS Saint-Étienne would have to finish third in Ligue 2 or fourth or fifth by winning the various play-off matches up to the accession match. to Ligue 1. Olympique Lyonnais will have to move up to sixteenth place in Ligue 1.
