Lyon thrash Rennes 4-0 as Fonseca praises a “massive” display
On matchday five, OL beat Rennes 4-0, and Fonseca hailed a standout performance both offensively and defensively.
Lyon took control of Rennes in Ligue 1 on matchday five, cruising to a convincing 4-0. As reported by RMC Sport, the OL boss, Paulo Fonseca, used his post-match press conference to underline that the team’s performance was strong in both directions.
A statement win, 4-0
Fonseca pointed to an XXL-level showing, stressing that the side delivered a complete match with offensive efficiency and defensive solidity. The French wording in the report frames it as a “magnificent” display, with Lyon matching their plan rather than just benefiting from spells.
With a scoreline this decisive, the win isn’t only about the three points—it also sends a clear message in the league. It helps build momentum and reinforces the tactical identity the coach wants to see.
The next question is whether Lyon can reproduce this same consistency in upcoming fixtures, after a result that RMC Sport describes as thoroughly controlled and well-executed.
