The Lyonnaises do not find the key and let slip for good a 15th consecutive title in D1



Women’s D1: OL-PSG’s debrief (0-0) – 20 minutes

  • By conceding a draw (0-0) against PSG, this Sunday evening at Parc OL, the Lyonnaises (2nd one point behind Paris) are clearly moving away from a 15th consecutive French champion title.
  • Never dominating during this real D1 final, the players of Sonia Bompastor can only hope for a miracle from Dijon (8th), who will travel to Paris on Friday (8:45 p.m.) on the last day of the championship.
  • At the end of a generally boring match, and especially of an unexpected season without a title, OL must think about its renewal.

At Parc OL,

The transfer of power takes shape for good in women’s D1. Hanging (0-0) by a domineering PSG, this Sunday in its stadium, OL remains one point behind the Parisiennes one day from the end. It would therefore take a small miracle next Friday for Wendie Renard’s partners to win their 15th consecutive French championship title.

OL from the start in the hard

Is it the psychological impact of the two defeats conceded this season against his usual favorite victim that explains this excitement in Lyon? After only five minutes of play, Kadidiatou Diani missed a huge 0-1 ball, with an attempt rejected by Sarah Bouhaddi. The best opportunities of the meeting were almost all for PSG, between Sandy Baltimore (11th), Ramona Bachmann (23rd, 45th), then Diani (38th, 66th) and Signe Bruun (62nd). Apart from a badly negotiated duel by Sakina Karchaoui against Christiane Endler (40th), OL have never really been in a position to overwhelm this PSG. The replacement on the sidelines of Jean-Luc Vasseur by Sonia Bompastor, on April 27, was not enough for the Lyonnaises to change face in this final sprint.

A disappointing summit

Expected electric but also exciting, especially after the unexpected Parisian qualification in this same stadium in the Champions League a month earlier (1-2), this match did not live up to our expectations. Very choppy, this one never exceeded the dimension of an incontestable intensity in the duels.

The end of the reign is almost over

Jacques Chirac was still President of the Republic during the last championship season not won by the Lyonnaises. That says a lot about the sensation that officially awaits OL on Friday, with an incredible series stopped at 14 consecutive coronations in D1. We can not imagine for a moment that PSG collapsed on the last day, welcoming the modest team of Dijon (8th). Described as “legendary” by Jean-Michel Aulas, last summer after winning its fifth Champions League in a row, this Lyon team will really need to be renewed after an unexpected season without a title. The first two recruits announced in recent days by
RMC Sport would be… the Parisians Christiane Endler and Signe Bruun.
