Olympique Lyonnais (OL) faced a significant challenge against Real Sociedad in the Champions League play-offs and ultimately lost 2-0, with goals from Sociedad’s Carlos Vela and Haris Seferovic. This defeat meant that Lyon failed to advance to the group stage of the Champions League for the second consecutive season. The disappointment was evident in Alexandre Lacazette’s comments on the official OL website. Lacazette expressed regret at not being able to trouble Real Sociedad more and acknowledged that they were not up to par. Despite the setback, he emphasized the determination to perform well in the Europa League, acknowledging that while it might be less prestigious than the Champions League, Lyon would give their best to go as far as possible in the competition.
