On September 24th, 2021, the Ligue 1 season came to an end and the Coupe de France was in full swing. However, there was one team that had been making a huge impact on the French football scene: Lyon.
As they were preparing for the upcoming season, the club announced that they would be competing in the Ligue 1 Qualification Tournament for the UEFA Champions League. This tournament is one of the most prestigious events in European football, as it allows teams from all over Europe to qualify for the UEFA Champions League.
Lyon, however, did not expect this to happen. They had already qualified for the Europa League, which is the second tier of European football, but they had never played in the Ligue 1 Qualification Tournament before. The club had been hoping for a chance to compete at such a high level, but unfortunately, it did not come true.
But, as they prepared for the game against Brest, they found themselves facing a very tough opponent. Brest had been playing well throughout the season, but they were missing some key players who had left the team due to injuries or other reasons.
In the first half of the match, Lyon looked like they were going to win the game easily. But then, something strange happened. With just under ten minutes remaining in the second half, Brest scored a goal, and they went into extra time with a lead.
The crowd erupted in excitement as the final whistle blew, and Lyon secured their European ticket. It was a dream come true for them, and they were determined to keep winning matches like this in the future.
Overall, the Ligue 1 Qualification Tournament has been a success for Lyon. They have shown that they can compete at the highest level of European football, and they will continue to strive for more victories in the future.
