A night to roar, Lyon’s season on the line against Fenerbahçe | OneFootball

Lyon face Fenerbahçe on Wednesday night in what already feels like the match of their season.

The first leg finished 1-1 last Tuesday, when N’Golo Kanté was in a tussle with Loïs Openda. According to L'Équipe, victory would return Lyon to the Champions League after six years out and provide vital financial breathing space.

It is not Gerland, the old city stadium, but this feels a day to arrive early in Décines as the summer holidays wind down.

Step off the tram, cross the wide esplanades and join friends in the flow towards the theatre of excitement and hope.

Have a beer, maybe an ice cream, weigh up a splurge in the shop, then watch the sun sink behind the concrete amid firecrackers and coloured smoke.
