Nantes-Lyon: 11 consecutive victories, OL as if in a "dream"... and soon on the Ligue 1 podium?

Olympique Lyonnais achieves its 11th consecutive victory, overturning early season doubts and positioning itself favorably in Ligue 1 ahead of their match against Nantes.

Olympique Lyonnais, led by new recruit Endrick, is experiencing a remarkable run of form, having achieved 11 consecutive victories across all competitions. This streak includes a solid 2-0 win over Laval in the Coupe de France, marking a notable turnaround for the team that was uncertain of its prospects earlier in the season. Historically, OL has had a successful record, previously achieving 14 consecutive wins in 2006, and they are now looking to replicate such prominence in French football.

Despite a tumultuous recent history, including a temporary relegation scare and the influence of new president Michele Kang, OL’s current success has caught both fans and critics off guard. They are unexpectedly close to returning to the top tier of Ligue 1, a league they once dominated with seven consecutive titles. This resurgence not only bolsters the team's morale but also raises questions about the stability and future direction of the club, especially in light of last year's challenges which involved significant changes in management and key personnel.

As they prepare for an upcoming match against Nantes, the players are riding high on confidence and optimism. Observers and fans alike are curious to see if the team can maintain this momentum and possibly secure a podium finish in Ligue 1, which could dramatically shift the narrative around the club and its ambitions moving forward.
