Lightning fell on the head of the Lyonnais. This Tuesday, the National Control and Management Directorate (DNCG) heavily sanctioned OL by an administrative relegation in Ligue 2.
Obviously, the fate of Lyon is not yet definitively sealed since it still has the opportunity to appeal within seven days.
In the event of a confirmed descent, the misfortune of the Gones would be the happiness of the Rémois. According to the LFP regulation, in the event of an administrative descent, the first draft is the defeated of the dam match between the 16th in Ligue 1, the Stade de Reims, and the winner of the Playoffs of Ligue 2, FC Metz.
At the end of May, the Messins had won the ticket for Ligue 1 by winning their confrontation in a round trip (1-1 at home then 3-1 victory in the return match in Champagne).
Finalist of the French Cup against PSG (0-3) eight days earlier, the Reims stadium was therefore sentenced to a return to Ligue 2 after seven seasons spent within the national elite.
Finally with Lyon’s setbacks, Reims resumed hope of a return to Ligue 1 faster than expected.
