The return to the European Cup is not enough for the Lyonnais to be happy this season. For 2025, OL is dreaming big and making no secret of it.
No resumption with the Coupe de France this year, it will therefore be Ligue 1 on the program for Olympique Lyonnais. A home match against a Montpellier team that no longer puts one foot in front of the other, there are worse things to start even if it is forbidden to relax for Pierre Sage's team this Saturday evening. The latter indeed has great ambitions for the year 2025, and it is no mystery that the podium, or even one of the first four places, is in the sights. OL therefore wants to be cautious with this resumption against the red lantern of Ligue 1. “ Montpellier is in a difficult situation, it must start again with a lot of intentions to meet the challenge of maintaining. We know what we're talking about having experienced it, and we also know that anything is possible », Explains the Gones coach before the meeting this Saturday evening.
After a welcome eight-day break given the brisk pace of the start of the season with the return of the European Cup, OL are now aiming even higher. According to Le Progrès, the main objective of the Lyonnais is the podium, and above all the reunion with the Champions League to put the Rhone team in its place. A feeling shared by Georges Mikautadze. “ We want to give everything to return to the Champions League. There are still many matches left to be able to get back to the top three and achieve our goals », Announces the Georgian striker, who made it clear that he would have to be counted on in 2025, at the same time dismissing rumors about a possible transfer when he arrived last summer. And just as he is finding his feet at OL, the former FC Metz and Ajax Amsterdam scorer has no plans to leave.
