Lyon left reeling after slipping from third to fourth before final day

Lyon slipped to fourth in Ligue 1 ahead of the final day, their trip to Toulouse bringing only regret over a lack of aggression and a missed chance to improve their position. According to Le Progres, the mood around the squad reflected that setback.

On Sunday night the OL players filed from the dressing room to the team bus via the mixed zone, a procession of downcast faces.

Nothing is decided yet, but dropping from third to fourth before hosting Lens, while Lille moved back ahead before hosting Auxerre, was not in the plan.

Their latest visit to Toulouse delivered neither the bite nor the points return they sought, leaving them to lament an opportunity lost.

Attention now turns to hosting Lens, with the table finely poised.
