Short post today as Nikhil won't be able to post the preview due to personal circumstances.

There's precious little to say other than Lyon are pretty much assured to keep the 4th spot, so this game is of little importance... except for Gourcuff and the other European internationals who want to be noticed and selected for the Euro championship.

Short post today. After winning the Coupe de France against Quevilly (1-0) and therefore qualified for the group stages of the Europa League, the OL players (currently 5th with a game in hand) will try to end the season with panache and climb onto the podium. Les Gones stand nine points behind the third (Lille) and one point behind current fourth Rennes, but they rely on a postponed game to play against Evian TG on May 10.

Olympique Lyonnais vs. US Quevilly,

Coupe de France Final 2012, Stade de France.

The day your under-performing opponents become over-powering, is the day you know you shouldn't have left home at all. Yes, Lyon never ‘turned up' in the Coupe de la Ligue Final, to quote Rémi Garde.

Call that mimicry. Or boredom. Or the result of too many hot then cold showers. Anyway, I can't help but feel exactly like OL in Toulouse : uninspired. Yes, there is a game tonight, and mathematically there is still a chance to end up on the third spot; but Lille have got their superpowers back, and QSG will do their best not to be ridiculed by seemingly unstoppable Montpellier and their budget that is barely one fifth of theirs.

A final. That's what this game is, as will be every game until the end of the season. With no cards left, the Lyonnais have no other choice than doing their very best to win all games remaining, and hope that the 5 clubs ahead don't.

After the bitter taste left by the draw with QSG, it may be difficult to remobilize a team who did everything to win that game, and who could -and should have won.

Jim(my Briand)'ll fix it Lyon progressed in the Champions League after a remarkable 1-7 win at Dinamo Zagreb last night. The six-goal margin built up over a period of 30 minutes was just what the French side needed to overhaul Ajax and pip them to qualification on goal difference. Needless to say, Lyon's [.
