In a thrilling finish, Jean-Michel Aulas celebrated his side's second successive Ligue 1 title with a 2-1 victory over Ajaccio on Sunday. The win means that Lyon have become the first team in French football history to win consecutive league titles since Paris Saint-Germain did so between 1994 and 1995.
The match saw Lyon dominate from start to finish, as they took the lead through a penalty kick from Memphis Depay in the 27th minute. Depay then doubled their lead just three minutes later, with a well-taken strike from distance. Ajaccio pulled one back for them in the 88th minute, but it was too little too late for them as Lyon held on for a crucial win.
Aulas was beaming with joy after the match, praising his players' efforts and the team spirit he has seen throughout the season. He also praised the fans who had been at the game all day, chanting "Lyon, Lyon" and supporting the team throughout.
For Lyon, this is another major achievement in what has already been an impressive season. They have won 26 out of their 38 games, scoring 84 goals and conceding only 25. With two matches remaining in the season, they still have a chance to extend their unbeaten run to 32 games.
Overall, it was a memorable afternoon for Lyon and their supporters, as they secured their second successive Ligue 1 title with a hard-fought victory over Ajaccio. Aulas will no doubt be looking forward to the rest of the season and hoping that his side can continue their winning ways.
