Re: French Soccer League Predictions and Discussion Thread (Ligue 1)
Lyon being bad is definitely something historically sad. I watched them dominate this league when I was growing up, during my college years Lyon was the best team and they had some great European games as well not just France, and unfortunately financial ruin caused them to never recover.
I feel like they need to do better though, they have income, and they are spending way too much on player salaries, if they could get younger players for cheaper, then about a 50-60 million salary spending would be possible and they could pay that easily and then get out of debt. Sell some stuff that they own too, whatever they can, it would cover some of the debt, just like how Barcelona sold some stuff to pay the debt and get some players.

The same here!
I have also seen that golden age of Lyon live. The times with great players such as Benzema, Juninho and so on... We are talking about a team that won the league title for 7 years straight.But in the recent years they are just in their downfall. They climbed last season but again they are back in the start line. How long will this continue? I really want Lyon players to start believing in themselves not temporarily but permanently.
What do you say about Barcola? Isn't he such a talent?
Honestly I wasn't finding him good enough previously. It seems like it was all due to staying in Mbappe's shadow. Now he scores like a machine!
