Which is confusing to me. I mean there are better teams there than Ligue 1 teams and considering the situation they are in, I would have expected them to have something much better at ligue one. They should have been second team with a big gap, but they are not there right now.

Looking at how the teams are going, I feel like the biggest shocker of the season has been Lyon without a doubt, bare bottom with so many point difference, to mid table team after middle of the season. They really look great and I feel like if they could manage to keep this up, they could even finish at conference league levels. Which could be a stone they could build upon and be better next season as well. I really like them, would love to see them do better.

I can agree with you there. There is a different look of the standings this season than the previous one. Lyon started the season horrible and barely managed to climb to the tenth position later on. Marseille are even out of top six now. Monaco and Lille are doing better though. On the other hand we have a surprising team at the second position, Brest. Grin

Brest finished only 9 points above the relegation zone in the previous season but now they are fighting for a Champions League spot. Éric Roy is doing a superb job since he joined. First he kept the team in the Ligue 1 and now this is happening.
