Lyon faces potential chaos if their tumultuous season persists, with global pop sensation Taylor Swift poised to add to their “trouble, trouble, trouble.”
The renowned French team currently languishes at the bottom of Ligue 1. Despite parting ways with Fabio Grosso, they suffered defeat to 10-man Lens over the weekend, intensifying their struggles. Should Lyon find themselves in this predicament by May, a significant predicament awaits.
In Ligue 1, the bottom two teams face demotion to Ligue 2, with the 16th-placed team entering a playoff against the third-placed team in Ligue 2.
Should Lyon narrowly escape automatic relegation, an additional hurdle emerges – they would be barred from playing their playoff home leg.
The complication deepens as Taylor Swift, renowned for her hit ‘I Knew You Were Trouble,’ is slated to perform on June 2, 2024, at the Groupama Stadium – the exact date Lyon would host their playoff match.
A Lyon spokesperson conveyed uncertainty, stating to Le Progres: “It’s premature for the moment… we don’t know if it is possible to postpone the first concert of the US superstar.”
Lyon’s struggle for points this season makes a resurgence seem challenging, and the prospect of playing in the second tier of French football for the first time since the 1980s looms large.
