Thanks to its victory against Montpellier on Saturday, OL are currently ranked 5th in Ligue 1 with a total of 28 points. Despite this lackluster start to the season, the Lyonnais are enjoying one of the best first games of the last five years.
OL still have a way to go to get back to their good years, but they are progressing gradually. After a very difficult start to the season last year, the Lyonnais managed to turn around at the end of the season and sought to maintain this momentum at the start of the new season. And we can say that Pierre's work Sage and his men pay. In Ligue 1, OL have eight wins, four draws and four defeats. Results which allow the Lyon club to rank 5th in the championship.
2020-2021, l’exception
Despite the criticism suffered by Pierre Sage and its players, especially during their last meeting against MontpellierOL are having one of the best first legs in recent years. Indeed, the Lyonnais currently have 28 points after the 16th day of the championship. If last season was apart with only thirteen units on the clock and a fight for maintenance, Alexandre Lacazette's teammates accumulated more points than the 2022-2023 (24 points) and 2021-2022 (25 points) years. Only the 2020-2021 season allowed OL to collect more points with 33 points on the evening of the 16th day of Ligue 1.
