When Lyon and Marseille made a breakthrough in the transfer market by spending a lot of money on player shopping, of course we hope that there will be fierce competition in Ligue 1 this season, but so far only Marseille has put pressure on PSG while Lyon actually has to fall to the bottom of the current Ligue 1 standings, last season Lyon was able to end the position in the Europa League zone but looking at their current performance and inconsistency it is clear to repeating their achievements last season will be very difficult.
In reality, buying expensive and many players does not guarantee that the team's performance will be good. Do you remember how much money Chelsea has squandered in the last few seasons in building their squad? They haven't even found their best form in the Premier League even with several coaching changes.
But I wouldn't draw conclusions too quickly about Lyon who are known to have spent €147.79m to bring in several new players. Lyon performed poorly in its first 5 matches in Ligue 1, but over time the team's performance will improve when the adaptations and strategies implemented are fully understood by the new players. The problem currently facing Lyon is that their defense still looks weak and this is made worse by the poor performance of the fordward.
