Olympique Lyonnais, once dominant in French football in the 2000s, didn’t achieve the same level of success on the European stage, with their best Champions League run being a semi-final appearance in 2010. In contrast, the women’s team has been a dominant force, both in France and Europe.

Briand urged them to create a legendary moment in women’s football.
