If you don't look at the development of League 1 over several seasons, most people might think that Lyon is a weak club, but actually they are not a weak club, they are just unlucky this season and it could be said that this is Lyon's worst season because they have to fight to secure their position so as not to be relegated, and I think Lyon can still secure a position in the middle of the standings because this season is still long and Lyon still has the opportunity to recover from their current downturn.
I think it's too far if you say Lyon can secure 3rd place so they can advance to the Champions League, they can just get out of the relegation zone which is a lucky thing for Lyon because they are fighting for that and I think their focus is not on the Champions League or league competitions. Europe because their current focus is on improving their overall performance so as not to be relegated.
I hope that after good results in the last few matches, Lyon can continue their good performance so that they are not underestimated by other clubs.
I think their current standing is deceiving. They're not a poor team; they're simply struggling. Remember, they've been a prominent competitor, regularly in the top 10 and runners-up multiple times. Though this season may be tough, I wouldn't count them out. There is still a lot of the season left, and the point deficit with the clubs above them is manageable. Their next match versus Le Havre is critical. Lyon could surprise Le Havre, who is playing better. Playing wisely and earning critical points whenever possible is key. I think they can avoid relegation, but they need to improve immediately
