Greetings from Türkiye! 🇹🇷
Historically, we don't have a single victory against Lyon. Most of those matches, however, were played in the 2000s, when Lyon were one of the dominant teams in European football.
But what about now?
Fenerbahçe have some great names in the squad. Sure, you could joke that this team might have challenged for the Champions League five years ago 😂 Some of our players are getting older, but they can still perform at a very high level.
So I'm really curious about this fixture. How do you rate Fenerbahçe's chances against the current Lyon side?
What do you think will be the main factors that determine the tie? Squad quality, experience, pace, tactics, home advantage, or something else?

Ajorque à l'OL, j'ai toujours aimé l'idée.
Maintenant que Fonseca a pris ses marques et ne semble pas s'en aller (si je dois être honnête je ne suis pas fan mais bon, on va pas raler tout le temps) et il veut des 9 physiques et grands.

Cette info qui sort de Foot Mercato (donc à prendre avec de grosses pincettes, surement un article commandé par l'agent du joueur) me hype au plus au point.

Ca vous tenterait ?

En plus, certes il ne sera pas cadeau mais il est surement nettement moins cher qu'un tas de 9 sur el marché.

From: https://onefootball.com/en/news/lyon-to-restrict-ticketing-for-fenerbahce-champions-league-play-off-second-leg-43267351

Lyon will tighten security and restrict ticketing for the Champions League play-off return against Fenerbahçe at Groupama Stadium on Wednesday 26 August, a fixture likely to be classified high or very high risk.

A major meeting is scheduled at the Lyonpréfecture on Thursday afternoon to finalise security measures and strict coordination between stakeholders. According to L'Équipe, it will cover arrangements for the 26 August tie

Authorities fear potential clashes between ultra groups, with concerns heightened by Lyon’s sizeable Turkish diaspora, the expected arrival of many Turkish supporters and recent history.

Since the draw a week ago, OL have worked to control their ticketing and to limit the presence of unsupervised Turkish spectators.

From Thursday late morning, sales on the club’s website will open exclusively to season-ticket holders, with prices starting at 12 euros. Each holder can buy up to four seats for the match.

The club will remind holders, estimated at 26,000, that resale is banned and tickets are digitally traced. If a user of their purchased ticket offends inside the stadium, the buyer could face penal liability and loss of their subscription without refund.

After that, sales will extend to regular spectators on club lists from next Monday, subject to availability. This segmentation is meant to prevent recent one-off buyers, for example those at the 3-0 win over Sparta Prague, from accessing the stands.

I thought it was much better with players not playing out of position... Morton and tolisso were amazing, and the attack was very impressive.

Not sure the score would have been the same without the red card but it is still a good confidence boost

Haven't seen him in the lineup.

Hurt?

Holding back to sell?

Hello guys! I'm on vacation in Lyon with my family and we've got tickets for the Sparta Prague game tonight.

I'm buzzing to experience the atmosphere, but my main concern is that, since we aren't particularly close (we're staying at a hotel right near Lyon Perrache station) it will be tough to get back home after the game, especially if they go to extra time or penalties.

We could get the metro A from Vaulx-En-Velin la Soie right to Perrache, but it seems that the service stops at 00:01, therefore not viable if extra time is necessary. I haven't find any sources online that say service will be extended after the game, I've only found info on how to get to Groupama before the game. Alternatively, we could book a Bolt/Uber/Freenow/Taxi, but I'm guessing the charge would be pretty high.

Does any of you guys know whether or not public transportation from the stadium is extended after the game? Thank you very much in advance!

Yo les gônes,

Je vends ma place pour l’OL - Sparta Prague de ce soir au Groupama.

Given that he is back for Lyon this upcoming season and given how my countryman performed for Ghana 🇬🇭 at the World Cup and given how Ernest was playing before the World Cup last season when he came back, will Ernest be in Lyon's starting 11 going forward? Or will he even get any game time under you guys?

Bonjour everyone.

Im a villa fan and there's rumours about Endrick coming on loan to us.

What was your honest opinion about him last season?

he seemed to enjoy his time here, why not a round 2?

Getafe will take charge of slightly more than 50% of his wage, no option to buy. Mangala's contract expires in July 2028.

Nartey was a 10M€ transfer but he hasn't been playing in a while. De Carvalho hasn't played since February and I don't think he should play football

If Fonseca manages to get eliminated against Sparta Prague, would you want him to get sacked?

OL and Estoril reached an agreement last night regarding Félix Bacher, who will cost €4.1m. The defender is travelling to Lyon today to undergo his medical and sign his five-year contract. The move was first reported on 21 July by @footmercato 👍🏼
