The Serbian international has unveiled his big goal with the Gones.

Can Olympique Lyonnais still hope to compete in the Champions League next season? If we rely in the current classification in Ligue 1, the Rhone club, positioned in 6ᵉ place seven lengths from fourth place, qualifying for the third preliminary round of the C1, is still in the race for Europe.

Despite this major issue, some of Paulo Fonseca's men do not hide it and clearly show their ambition to participate in the Queen of Europe competition during the 2025-26 exercise. This is particularly the case of Nemanja Matic, one of the executives of the Lyon cloakroom.

“The day I will not dream anymore, I will stop”

“If I have dreams?” Of course, every season. The day I will not dream anymore, I will stop. When I arrived in Lyon, I told some that my dream was to hang Europe. To be honest, I thought of the conference league first, given the position where we started. So this year my dream is to reach the Champions League with Lyon ”said the very experienced Serbian environment.

Anyway, for this season, OL, which has not tasted the LDC since 2019-2020, is still in the running in the Europa League. He will go to Steaua Bucharest Thursday for the first leg of the round of 16.
