Following a recent match in Ligue 1, where defending Champions PSG clashed with Olympique Lyonnais, the home side were no match for the visitors, losing 1-4. After a horrendous start to the season, Lyon have just one point to show from their first 4 league games. Consequently, the side managed by Laurent Blanc find themselves rock bottom..

With losses against Strasbourg, Montpellier and PSG, Lyon have picked up just one point in a 0-0 stalemate against Nice. After Monday’s embarassing defeat to PSG, Olympique Lyonnais Ultras, who go by the name “Bad Gones” publicly censured their players. In a truly ‘movie -like’ display, the Ultras called up the players to the stands and gave them a ‘wake-up call’, following back to back losses and poor form.

Tempers were already flaring pre-match, following their poor form and adding to it was the late transfer of ex-Lyon player Bradley Barcola in the summer transfer window. One of the Ultras addressed, those in the 2023-24 Lyon squad and especially those who are leaders in the dressing room, should no longer remain silent. They should take charge of their season and do justice to the jersey they wear. He said, “Others before you have worn it, glorified it. You don’t have the right to tarnish it.”

There was also a dig at Barcola, who left the club to join PSG. The Ultra said, “Sing them with love, not like we sang the names of the little sh*t who have left our club in the last six months.” Clips have gone viral and some people remember how Milan Ultras asked their players to take charge after their Champions League loss to rivals Inter Milan.

Lyon hosted PSG on Monday following a troubled start to their season. With just 1 point in their first 3 games of the season, Lyon found themselves rock bottom in the League. Their misery was only worsened as the away side got on the scoresheet early in the first half. Kylian Mbappe found the net from 12 yards after just 4 minutes on the clock. Achraf Hakimi doubled their lead after 20 minutes by tapping it into an empty net. New signing Marco Asensio also got on the scoresheet as the Spaniard made it 2 goals in 2 games for him.

Kylian Mbappe secured his brace late into first-half injury time after the Frenchman got on the end of a Marco Asensio through ball. The PSG captain now has 5 goals in Ligue 1 and is the top scorer of the League. Lyon hit back through Corentin Tolisso through a penalty in the second half, but it turned out to be only a consolation. Lyon players were publicly censured by Ultras following the disastrous result.
