ONE of the most successful sports teams on the planet, Olympique Lyonnais Feminin, will continue their quest for a fifth consecutive Women’s Champions League title tomorrow night when they take on Bayern Munich in the quarter-finals in Bilbao.

Lyon will be aiming to reach their ninth final in 11 years, having won six of them, building on a dominance reflected domestically. Formed by the club’s owner Jean‑Michel Aulas back in 2004, they won their first French league title in 2007 and have won it every year since.

Despite their unmatched success in the world’s most popular sport, much about Lyon might not be so familiar with even the most ardent football followers, and even those with interest in the women’s game may not have seen them play much football.
