Manager Claude Puel was under threat early in the campaign as Lyon found themselves struggling in the relegation zone of Ligue 1, but a 2-1 victory at Montpellier yesterday – a particularly difficult place to go – has reinforced Aulas’s belief in Les Gones.
He said after the match that “[Lyon]will win the championship this season and then one day win the Champions League.” The win was achieved with seven players missing, and leaves Lyon in third place in Ligue 1.
