Lyon at the Meinau, seven dates of highs and lows | OneFootball

Lyon visit Strasbourg on Sunday at 20:45 for their 49th league trip to the Meinau, which, according to Le Progres, has delivered seven moments.

1968: On 9 April, Fleury Di Nallo clinched a 1-0 win, one of his 18 that season. He later called it unforgiving.

1976: On 7 February, Albert Gemmrich led a 5-0 thrashing. Aimé Mignot was replaced after seven and a half years, paving the way for Aimé Jacquet.

1983: On 20 May, Strasbourg sealed a 2-0 win with 10 minutes left. Olivier Rouyer fractured a fibula and José Pasqualetti departed in a cast, and a brawl involved Francis Piasecki and André Ferri.

1998: On 21 January, OL won 2-1 at Racing. Reynald Pedros scored in the 11th minute and Alain Caveglia on 31, who relished the Meinau’s lively stage.

2003: On 3 May, Lyon cruised 4-0, through Anderson in the fourth, Éric Carrière on 60, Peguy Luyindula on 64 and Mickaël Violeau on 79. With three left, they led Marseille by two points.

2022: Before the West Ham Europa League return, a 1-1 was overshadowed by Anthony Lopes’s knee sprain on the half-hour. He missed the tie three days later, German Julian Pollersbeck starting in the 0-3 defeat.

2023: On 28 April, Laurent Blanc’s final OL win was a 2-1 comeback after Morgan Sanson’s 15th-minute opener, via Castello Lukeba on 32 and Maxence Caqueret on 36.

Since then, OL have lost two straight at the Meinau. In all, Lyon have been beaten there 22 times.
