Match9 Jan 2027

Olympique Lyonnais tear Le Havre AC apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 6‑3 against Le Havre AC, and it could have been more.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

Nicolás Fernández Mercau is a medical away from Olympique Lyonnais

The deal with New York City is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Player ratings11 Jan 2027

Senny Mayulu, 20, steals the show — 10.00

Marked 10.00 at 20, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Market11 Jan 2027

Terms done: Ernest Nuamah is going

Fee agreed, wages agreed, and Monaco waiting with a shirt. Nobody at Olympique Lyonnais is pretending otherwise, and the supporters have stopped asking whether and started asking when.

Squad11 Jan 2027

3 goals for Senny Mayulu

The match ball belongs to Senny Mayulu, whose 3 goals turned a difficult afternoon into a procession.

Transfer targets11 Jan 2027

Olympique Lyonnais baulk at the price for Simon Ebonog

Le Havre AC wanted more than $4.7M and the board would not go there. Walked away, for now, which in a transfer window means until somebody blinks.

Market11 Jan 2027

Olympique Lyonnais get their man

The chase for Nathan Ngoumou ended with $2.9M changing hands and OGC Nice out of reasons to say no. The supporters will judge the fee the only way that matters: on Saturdays.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Nathan Ngoumou arrives at the club he grew up with

Every footballer has an answer to the question about his boyhood club, and most of them never get to act on it. Nathan Ngoumou has, at Olympique Lyonnais, and the first month will show what that does to a man.

Squad11 Jan 2027

Senny Mayulu is the real thing at 20

A season average of 7.19 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. Olympique Lyonnais know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

The Olympique Lyonnais Chronicle

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad28 Dec 2026

A one-man rearguard from Dominik Greif

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Squad28 Dec 2026

A falling-out at Olympique Lyonnais

Loïs Openda and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Squad28 Dec 2026

A row about effort at Olympique Lyonnais

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Mads Bidstrup was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

The dugout28 Dec 2026

Dominik Greif has become a man the manager trusts

Nobody at Olympique Lyonnais will say this on the record and the team sheets have been saying it for weeks. There is a small group in every squad who get picked when the fixture is difficult, and he has joined it.

The dugout28 Dec 2026

Half-satisfied: Stéphane Pérez on the draw

“There are things I liked and things we will be doing on Tuesday until they are right.” 0‑0, and a manager who had already decided what Tuesday looked like.

The dugout28 Dec 2026

The form table has caught Daouda Guindo

Somebody else has been better, the manager has said so with a team sheet, and there is no argument to be had. He will get the shirt back the only way it can be got back.

Player ratings28 Dec 2026

The one thing Loïs Openda could not do

Shots: 11, enough of them from close enough that a striker in form scores two. He is not a striker in form.

Market28 Dec 2026

The Tyler Morton talk will not go away

Another week, another link, another denial nobody quite believes. Olympique Lyonnais know the market decides these things, not the back pages — but the back pages are louder.

Match26 Dec 2026

Point won or two lost for Olympique Lyonnais?

Ninety minutes, no goals, and the argument started before the car park emptied: a point gained, or two thrown away against Olympique de Marseille? Both sides of it will still be going on Thursday.

In brief
