Ligue 1: Six years on, can OL bring the Champions League home?

OL are third in Ligue 1, a position that brings direct Champions League qualification, and three of their final four fixtures will be at Groupama Stadium. Making home advantage count could be essential to meeting that aim.

According to Le Progres, OL last featured in the competition in August 2020.

On 19 August 2020, Jean-Michel Aulas was president, Juninho the sporting director and Rudi Garcia the head coach, while Corentin Tolisso was on the opposing side.

That night, in the quiet bubble of Lisbon’s Alvalade Stadium with Covid still a threat, OL played their most recent Champions League match, a semi-final against Bayern Munich that finished 0-3.

The run-in offers a clear opening at home, and progress could hinge on turning those fixtures into results.
