On Sunday, Kylian Mbappe scored two goals against them, while Achraf Hakimi and Marco Asensio also found the back of the net.
The Lyon players endured a harsh on-field scolding from their own fans following a humiliating 4-1 defeat to their rivals, Paris Saint-Germain. This demoralizing loss, which occurred on their home turf, has plummeted the seven-time champions of French football to the bottom of the Ligue 1 table. On Sunday, Kylian Mbappe scored two goals against them, while Achraf Hakimi and Marco Asensio also found the back of the net.
Although Corentin Tolisso managed to salvage some pride with a penalty in the second half, it offered little solace to Lyon as they contemplate their meager tally of one point from a possible 12 at the beginning of the 2023-24 season. In the aftermath of yet another crushing defeat, Lyon's players stood before the renowned Virage Nord at the Groupama Stadium, where the Bad Gones ultras group made their dissatisfaction abundantly clear to those who are failing to perform on the field.
One of the ultras leaders addressed the Lyon squad through a megaphone, saying: “To the Olympique Lyonnais 2023-2024 squad, this message is addressed to you. To those who assume the status of dressing-room leaders, the message is clear: If there are leaders in this dressing room, they no longer have the right to remain silent. You're wearing the Olympique Lyonnais jersey. You're the ones who wear the Olympique Lyon jersey. Others before you have worn it, glorified it. You don't have the right to tarnish it. Now that the transfer window is over, the squad is here. All we ask is to be by your side.
“But to do that, you're going to have to earn it. We love and respect this shirt. There's only one other thing we ask: to sing your names. Sing them with love, not like we sang the names of the little *******. who have left our club in the last six months. We want to sing your names with respect, with love. Because we know you play with love. But we expect you guys to respect our jersey, and if we have to take our losses to do so with our heads held high. Go OL.”
Lyon is set to return to the field next Sunday as they play host to Le Havre. However, their head coach, Laurent Blanc, finds himself under increasing pressure to secure his position, having only won 17 out of his 37 games at the helm.
