The last time Lyon played Rennes was in October, when Rennes handed Lyon a rather humiliating 3-0 defeat. The sole mastermind of that encounter was ex-Marseille striker Mickaël Pagis, who will always be remembered by the rest of France as the guy who dealt a blow scored a hat trick against the evil Lyon [...]

Break out the party hats and start celebrating!
Fred, who is currently suntanning in Brazil, has decided never to return to Lyon. He’s terminated his contract and is now free to sign with Fluminense. His decision has been made official by Lyon. This certainly can’t be a surprise to anyone – he hasn’t been selected for [...]

I’ll keep this pretty short since almost everything that needed to be said has been discussed in the comments of the previous post. Here are just a few thoughts I had about the game:

*At least according to the Offside bloggers.
What I love about football is that no results should ever be taken for granted. Just because Barcelona are most likely to win doesn’t mean that they will. A team of superstars they may be, but at the end of the day, they are all human (well maybe [...]
