Olympique Lyonnais dominated French football during the 2000s, winning seven successive Ligue 1 titles, and they knocked Manchester City out of the UEFA Champions League quarter finals in 2020 - just three years ago.
Now the club is bottom of the Ligue 1 table though, having finished 7th and 8th in their last two campaigns, and without a win from their first five games of the season.
