But who will succeed to stop this Olympique Lyonnais there? Untouchable since the beginning of the season, the players of Gérard Prêcheur have again impressed this weekend on behalf of the 9th day of D1 quietly placing Rodez Paul Lignon stadium (0-6).

52. That is the number of goals scored by OL in just nine league games. Impressive efficiency, Lotta Schelin and others have made a bite of their opponents thanks to two new achievements of the top scorer in the championship: Ada Hegerberg. The young Norwegian (20 years old), arrived last season in French D1, walks on the water at the beginning of competition. Already a scorer in her first season with OL (34 goals in 32 games), the No. 14 remains the fatal weapon of the champions of France with 15 goals scored in just 9 games. An impressive statistic added to Lotta Schelin's six goals and Eugénie le Sommer's five units that make Lyon's most prolific D1 attack far ahead of the 34 goals scored by Paris Saint-Germain. With this new offensive recital, the Rhone players fuel an average of 5.7 goals per game. Auspicious for the rest of the season.

Defensive work as a collective value.

0. As the number of goals conceded by the Lyonnaises in eleven games played in all competitions this season. On the continuity of last year the team block under the orders of Captain Wendie Renard impresses physically and tactically. Very comfortable in the defensive withdrawal and the first raise, the players of Gérard Prêcheur master perfectly the system resolutely turned to the attack, to fill the possible technical errors of the creative players. Whether against PSG or Rodez, no space is left behind, helped by the hard work of the rest of the team. Impervious, this OL can target the offensive records as defensive this season in D1 (Editor's note: 147 goals scored for 6 conceded in the 2014/2015 season). A true scarecrow in France, the Lyonnaises now hope to return to Europe, and this begins when the leader of the Spanish Primera División, Atletico Madrid, on 11 November, in the first leg of the first knockout round the Champions League.
