How likely is a relegation for Olympique Lyon really? The Ligue 1 fifth-placed team should not really have any major problems meeting the DNCG requirements.
When the French last made a flying visit to Germany, for the 2-2 draw in the Europa League at TSG Hoffenheim, there were repeated explosions. OL fans had smuggled fireworks into the Sinsheim arena and set them off after the guests’ goals. In the hectic final phase, there were multiple explosions.

On Friday, there was a bang of a somewhat different nature surrounding OL. A report by the French league association LFP caused shockwaves because its control chamber had decided to impose a hiring freeze, a salary cap and a provisional relegation on the club that dominated France in the 2000s if its financial situation did not change dramatically. The decision is based on the requirements of the DNCG, a kind of national financial authority for professional soccer. This sounds dramatic at first, especially in view of the enormous liabilities of 505 million euros.
