It was a disappointing start for Lyon in the first leg of the play-off for the next Champions League against Real Sociedad. Lyon had hoped for a positive outcome but ended up losing 2-0, with goals scored by A. Griezmann in the 17th minute and H. Seferovic in the 50th minute.
The return match is scheduled for August 28 at Anoeta, and Lyon will face a challenging task in overturning the deficit. Despite this setback in the Champions League, Lyon has had a strong start in Ligue 1, scoring 7 goals in two matches and currently leading the French championship. The team will now need to regroup and focus on the upcoming challenges in both domestic and international competitions.
