Karim Benzema showed his support for Olympique Lyonnais ahead of their crucial Europa League play-off second leg against FC Astra Giurgiu by posting a motivational message on social media:
“Because nothing is impossible!!! #TeamOL @OL #allin or nothing!!!”
As a product of Lyon’s youth academy and a former star of the club, Benzema’s encouragement carried emotional weight for OL fans. His words reflected both belief in Lyon’s chances of overturning the tie and pride in his roots.
OL were under pressure after a disappointing first leg and Benzema’s message was a timely morale boost from one of their most successful alumni.
