Football Bordeaux – Bordeaux-Lyon, un fiasco historique dans les tribunes !
It is one of the classics of the Ligue 1 championship, but this Sunday evening the poster between Bordeaux and Lyon will be shunned by the general public.
The oppositions between the scapular club and OL have often been spectacular, the climax being reached in 2010 when the two clubs faced each other in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. Victorious 3-1 in a boiling Gerland, Lyon had fallen (1-0) to Bordeaux, but had qualified to the greatest disappointment of a Chaban-Delmas stadium on fire for 90 minutes. In recent years, the clash between the two clubs has often resulted in tense and sometimes spectacular matches. But this is no longer enough for the Bordeaux public, who has been chaining disillusions for months and even if PSG filled the Matmut Atlantique last month, the reception of Lucas Paqueta and his teammates is not enough to provoke popular enthusiasm. Very far from it even if we believe the information from Progress. Indeed, even if the Bordeaux stadium will not be empty, it will be very, very far from being full when Bordeaux-OL kick off.

Even if we do not know the audiences of Prime Video, we can still believe that this broadcaster does not prevent the Matmut Atlantique from filling up properly. Because if PSG recently brought nearly 42,000 spectators to the Bordeaux stadium, they will be barely 25,000 this Sunday evening to follow the match against Lyon. ” According to local sources, it will be the lowest attendance for a Bordeaux-OL for a long time. Two reasons: the public is sulking the Girondins and then, rugby has preferences. They were 33,000 on Saturday in Chaban-Delmas to follow Bordeaux-Toulouse », Explains the regional daily. It is true that the Bordeaux-Bègles rugby team is at the top of the Top 14, where the Girondins de Bordeaux are 18th in the Ligue 1 standings and are fighting to try to escape in the elite of French football.
