Lyon supporters absent at Jean Bouin after late authorisation | OneFootball

Lyon’s away end at Stade Jean Bouin was empty after travelling supporters were unable to come amid shifting restrictions, according to Le Progres.

Five coaches had been organised for 306 people, but the trip was initially banned.

Multiple changes to ministerial decrees prompted the cancellation of the buses. When permission finally arrived, it was too late to reverse plans.

The section allocated to Lyon was instead occupied by 15 club stewards. The sight jarred given Lyon’s long-standing loyal away following.

Questions followed at the empty enclosure, mindful that past OL visits to Paris FC have seen incidents at Stade Charléty. None of that happened here.

Even so, the handling of this trip never felt clear.
