Lyon's remarkable transformation continues as the club celebrates a 13th consecutive victory in all competitions, cementing its position in third place in Ligue 1. This resurgence follows a close brush with relegation last season due to financial irregularities.

Despite the absence of teenage talent Endrick, suspended for the match, Lyon showed resilience against Nice with decisive goals from Corentin Tolisso and Noah Nartey. With strong performances backed by strategic signings like Pavel Šulc, Lyon exhibits a collective work ethic under the guidance of coach Paulo Fonseca.

Although still trailing behind Paris Saint-Germain and Lens, Lyon remains a formidable contender this season with ongoing participation in both the French Cup and Europa League. Coach Fonseca's ability to integrate new talents and harness experienced players like Tolisso has revived the team's fortunes significantly.
