Lyon fans set Champions League tone as Groupama Stadium gears up for Fenerbahçe decider | OneFootball

Groupama Stadium crackled as Lyon supporters set a festive Champions League tone, with a decisive play-off second leg against Fenerbahçe set for 26 August. According to Le Progres, the night already felt like a proper European occasion.

Driven by its two kops, the ground acted as a true 12th man. The noise and colour underlined the home crowd's return to big nights.

Access to the various car parks proved troublesome, irritating many on social media. Even so, the support held firm inside the stadium.

For Lyon fans it was a reunion with their side after almost three months. One notable tweak saw Openda lead the line.

That backdrop followed the 0-4 collapse against the Lens B team, a result that cost a podium finish and a guaranteed Champions League place.

Attention now turns to the return leg, which will be decisive in the play-offs.
