The Lyon players were given a dressing down by their own fans following a devastating 4-1 loss at home to PSG in Ligue 1. A leader of the\u00a0Bad Gones ultras – Lyon’s most prominent ultras group – lambasted the players with a megaphone as they lined up\u00a0in front of the Virage Nord stand with remorseful looks on their faces.<\/p>\n
Kylian Mbappe scored twice while Achraf Hakimi got on the scoresheet before new signing\u00a0Marco Asensio made it four on the stroke of halftime. Although Lyon pegged one back in the second stanza courtesy of a Corentin Tolisso penalty, the damage was already done.<\/p>\n
The players’ character came under immense scrutiny in the immediate aftermath with fans warning them against “smearing” the club’s shirt. “To the Olympique Lyonnais 2023-2024 squad, this message is addressed to you,” said a spokesperson for the Bad Gones ultras.<\/p>\n
“To those who assume the status of dressing-room leaders, the message is clear: If there are leaders in this dressing room, they no longer have the right to remain silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“You’re wearing the Olympique Lyonnais jersey. You’re the ones who wear the Olympique Lyon jersey. Others before you have worn it, glorified it.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“You don’t have the right to tarnish it. Now that the transfer window is over, the squad is here.\u00a0All we ask is to be by your side. But to do that, you’re going to have to earn it. We love and respect this shirt. There’s only one other thing we ask: to sing your names. Sing them with love, not like we sang the names of the little *******. who have left our club in the last six months.<\/p>\n

Because we know you play with love. But we expect you guys to respect our jersey […] and if we have to take our losses to do so with our heads held high. Go OL.”<\/p>\n The defeat leaves Lyon at the foot of the Ligue 1 table, still on the lookout for a win. In their opening four league games they have returned three losses and a draw, which came last week against Nice.<\/p>\n Meanwhile, PSG find themselves in second place, two points behind Monaco in pole position. Shock draws to Lorient and Toulouse have stalled their early momentum but the defending champions look to be firing on all cylinders now.<\/p>\n Source: Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Lyon players were given a dressing down by their own fans following a devastating 4-1 loss at home to PSG in Ligue 1.
