Ligue 1: Lyon suffers defeats on and off the pitch
Going through a major financial crisis, the team is also marking time in the championship

Lyon lost at Brest on matchday 17 of Ligue 1 and dropped to 6th place in the championship, while Saturday’s opponents escaped the danger zone of the table.
At a time when it has a debt of 500 million euros that has forced it to sell players to avoid relegation, Lyon suffered its second defeat in the last three matches thanks to goals from Mahdi Camara (8′) – who celebrated by telling Lyon fans to ‘shut up’ – and Ludovic Ajorque (25′).
Jordan Veretout (45+2′) still reduced the deficit for les gones, Rayan Cherki had a great performance with six passes for finishing, but Lyon continued to lose and be overtaken by Nice , who this Saturday beat Stade de Reims (4-2).
With this victory, Brest reached 22 points and rose to 10th place in the championship, already having six more points than Saint-Étienne, who are in the play-off place.
