Lyon continue efforts to persuade French authorities to overturn their decision to bring the football season to a premature end because of the Covid-19 pandemic
Lyon's Lucas Tousart celebrates scoring their first goal with teammates during a round of 16 Second Leg Champions League game against Barcelona at the Camp Nou in Spain on March 13, 2019.
The club criticised the April 30 ruling made by the French league to declare the season over following an announcement by the government that football could not restart because of the health crisis. "Could we imagine that 2 June is also a great opportunity to rectify the mistake concerning French football and to allow, with a health protocol used everywhere, a gradual resumption of training and, why not, a resumption of the 2019-20 season over the months of July or August?" Aulas said.
Lyon took objection to the LFP expressing satisfaction at the decision, replying via a statement of their own that "the administrative tribunal did not rule on the merits of the case".
