Victory and prayers. There are no other options for Lyon. With just one game left in the season, Fonseca’s team is out of the European places. A terrible seventh place.
Win and hope that Strasbourg, playing at home against Le Havre, who need three points to have any hope of survival, lose to the visitors. Let’s say that the task is difficult, almost impossible, for a team that started the year with very different goals and that, five minutes from the end of extra time against Manchester United, was two goals ahead and could have reached the Europa League semi-finals. That blow shattered everything. And even if the chances of qualifying for Europe are slim, there should be no regrets, at least as far as this last game of the season is concerned.
And there can be no regrets in only one way: by beating a safe, calm, and relaxed Angers side that can’t wait to go on vacation and is hoping that Le Havre will pull off a coup. Then, in any case, it will be time for Lyon to make important assessments of all kinds. But a victory cannot be called into question.
