In the French league, what surprises me most is Lyon's very weak position. Last year, Rudy Garcia was sacked for fourth place, now Olympique may just be left without a place in Eurocups next season. Was the transfer of Memphis Depay such a heavy damage for them?
The difference isn't that big in reality between the teams in European leagues if we don't take PSG on consideration. Lyon still lacks 1 game, assuming they will win it then they will have 6 points away from Nice in the second place. It all depends from how positive results they will get in the remaining games and whether they could make a clever signing or find a new tactic or not.
Lyon was giant team 10 years ago now they are struggling a lot to even reach Europe. Nice is doing an amazing job this season second place for them is really big. Too bad they cannot fight for the title against PSG its just a big advantage .
