Hey Gaston, lyon is actually making a rich history right now..they sell most of their new super talents every year, which is resulting a huge money gain..one day Lyon will be rich enough to keep the talents who is progressing trough their academies for several seasons, while they still have the money to buy established stars..

and barca had the best talent, problems in the locker room was the downfall of that team

To answer your question then:

“so does lyon derseve to be french champoins? yes. but because other clubs don’t have talent that lyon has”

so does Man U deserve to be European Champions? yes. but because other clubs don’t have the talent that Man U has.

domestic leagues existed before champoins league was set up, so thats irrelevent

second, Jo and Ush. you guys have and inferior mentality by adminting you are inferior, you will never get past the big clubs. you say lyon has little history or don’t have rich history, so when will they make one, if not now, then when ? the big clubs will use their superiority mentality over small clubs (and lyon is not small)

now here is why i say they are a joke in europe. in france they don’t strong competition, the clubs don’t have quality players because they are snatched by lyon or some other european club, as result the quality and competitivenss of the game diminshes. thats why a team that reached 2nd place one season may finish mid table the following season. because the talent is not there in other clubs, lyon will win.

lyon is like other french clubs, in the sense that their players after certain period of time get snatched by other european clubs, as result this gone talent that can make them reach further in CL diminshes as well. so does lyon derseve to be french champoins? yes. but because other clubs don’t have talent that lyon has

Jo > Nottingham Forest

Aston Villa, too: before 1981, the last League title they won was in 1910.

gaston: If they fail, that’s pretty much the way it goes. Those clubs have much more money.

The point you’re making about Lyon being thought a joke is plain nonsense and untrue. Do you think Man. United thought they were joke when they were one nil down till the last minute last season?

I’m not defending anything, I’m using logic. There are many great European clubs and the CL is a knockout competition, so it can happen easily.

OK, Gaston.
But can you just tell me what club in Europe won the CL less than 7 years after his FIRST national title ?

Don’t forget Lyon is still a young club, we have to wait.

i see the two of you can’t see the point i’m trying to make, therefore any discussion with you guys is useless. becuase you try to find excuses for lyon (don’t blame you), you arguement is that because barca and MAN U, juve fail, so shall we.

and about history lyon has by now made name for itself, one of the most successful clubs in france, 7 times french champoins consecutively which is a french and european club record, the most consistent french team to qualify for in CL in the past 5 or more years
