By qualifying for the semi-finals of the Champions League, OL Lyonnes will play their first leg at Arsenal on April 25 or 26. A weekend where a championship match is to be held in Nantes.

A championship day in the middle of the Champions League semi-final. Yes, yes, in the provisional calendar for the start of the season, the FFF had chosen to place the penultimate day of the Premier League at the same time as the last European square. Evil tongues will say that the confidence placed by the Federation in its clubs to perform in Europe was not very high, but it will be necessary to reorganize the calendar to OL Lyonnes. By taking the best out of Wolfsburg (4-0) Thursday evening, the Fenottes will therefore face Arsenal in the semi-final.

The first leg, which will be held in London, is scheduled to take place on the weekend of April 25-26. A weekend during which the Jonatan players Giráldez already had a trip planned. On the side of Nantes for the penultimate day of the championship. A collision which will therefore push the FFF to adjust the Lyon calendar and postpone this confrontation. As of Thursday evening, no decision had been made, but with a return match against Arsenal on the weekend of May 2-3 and a final day of the Premier League on May 6, this Nantes – OL Lyonnes should be placed between the two European matches. Most certainly on Wednesday April 29.
