Lyon failed the start of the season. After five rounds, the team had only four points. However, then five wins in a row, three of which came in the domestic championship with a goal difference of 8:1. Things are going great in the Europa League. First, a difficult but confident victory in a match with strong Olympiacos with a score of 2:0. Then there was an absolutely unexpected defeat of Rangers away with a score of 4:1.
After a failed season last year, the management of Besiktas seriously strengthened the squad. Right now, the Black Eagles are a contender for the highest places. In the Turkish Super League, according to the results of eight rounds, they have six wins with two draws and second place behind Galatasaray, which is hard to fight with everyone. But there is a clear feeling that the team gives serious priority to the domestic championship, and in the Europa League tries not to the fullest. That’s why they were defeated 0:4 against Ajax and 1:3 against Eintracht.
