Foot OL – Turpin referee of Monaco-OL, panic in Lyon! – Olympique Lyonnais
Sunday evening, OL will go to Monaco as part of the 7th day of Ligue 1. A first confrontation against a direct competitor for Europe this season. Lyon supporters are expecting an unclear match, especially since the appointment of the shock referee.
Like their 5-0 success over Angers last Saturday, OL are having a more than satisfactory start to the season. With 13 points indicated out of a possible 15, the Lyonnais have established themselves in the leading group with even one game less. Impressive except that OL have not yet played big teams in Ligue 1. Two promoted Ajaccio and Auxerre, Troyes, Reims and Angers. The Lyon program was largely affordable for a team of this quality. Serious things will really start in the coming weeks with Lorient but especially Monaco, PSG and Lens.
Anger and concern in Lyon, Turpin will officiate in Monaco
ASM is the aperitif of choice for Les Gones with a trip to Louis II on Sunday evening. If the Monegasques are struggling in the standings, they benefit from a solid workforce with which they snatched a draw against the all-powerful PSG. It is therefore a big opposition that awaits the Lyonnais in an already very important match in the race for Europe and the podium. But, in recent hours, pessimism has won the ranks of Lyon after the formalization of the match referee. A well-known OL whistle, Clément Turpin.

An experienced referee, appointed for the last Champions League final, but who brings back very bad memories for the Lyonnais. We remember in particular OL-LOSC last season when he refused a goal to Lucas Paqueta for an unclear foul on Lille goalkeeper Leo Jardim. For many Lyon supporters, Clément Turpin is clearly an anti-OL referee. The reactions on social networks are also without appeal. ” Well done Monaco, we couldn’t do anything », « Turpin every year there is a controversy with OL on all the big matches and every year he can re-refer OL », « Big match for Lyon so the lfp puts a spoke in our wheels “, can we read under the tweet from Inside Gones about this designation. However, there is cause for hope for the Lyonnais. During the last Rhone success on the Rock 3-2 in May 2021, Clément Turpin was already out.
