A tough start in Europe

As RMC Sport reports, Lyon got themselves in trouble at times, but still managed to find a way to secure the win.

After the final whistle, Rémy Descamps assessed the performance in mixed zone remarks and framed it as a solid start for the team. Beyond the result, the midfielder’s message was about ambition: the squad wants to compete at the highest level. In his comments, he confirmed the club’s intention to go “le plus haut possible” — in other words, “as high as possible”.

For betting purposes, the 1-2 away win is already a statement of intent: starting the campaign on the road and collecting points early. The next step will be backing up this first outing with consistent results in the following matches.
