    Biggest cup upset ever? Can’t think of a team as successful/big as Lyon who have lost to a team 5 divisions below them. It’s like Arsenal losing to a national league team or us losing to a highland/lowland league team

    Bordeaux are * away to the lower leagues now, but Lyon are still 6th in the league. Can’t think of a bigger cup upset than this

    Was there not a French 3rd or 4th division team made the Cup Final a few years back?

    3rd division Les herbiers in 2018 lost 2-0 to PSG. But they faced no one good on that run to the final so really was luck of the draw there

    Oh * yeah who knocked dortmund /leverkusen/bayern out last year? Sure it was one of them 3


    Just looked, saarbrucken knocked Bayern out but they’re division 3 so still 2 divisions higher than this French team beating Lyon. Also feel the drop off in quality isn’t as drastic in Germany due to the 3rd/4th being full with all the top flight B teams
