FOOTBALL MEMORIES
The squad was packed with stars. Juninho controlled matches with his composure and free-kicks, Tiago and Toulalan maintained balance in midfield, and Karim Benzema was taking his first steps towards an international breakthrough. Lyon was both routine and future at the same time.
On the pitch, Lyon was controlling rather than chaotic. They didn't always win spectacularly, but almost always securely. It was a team that knew exactly when to decide a match – and when to simply close it out.
The jersey reflects the period. Umbro design with clean lines, the iconic red and blue vertical stripe, and the discreet woven Lyon motif in the fabric on the back. The Novotel logo places it precisely in the mid-00s, when French top-tier football was more about sport than spectacle. A classic Lyon football jersey from the club's most dominant era.
Should this Olympique Lyonnais football jersey from 2006 be your memory of a time when French football had an unshakeable king?
