Olympique Lyonnais announces the arrival of the Algerian international defender and 2019 Africa Cup of Nations of winner Djamel Benlamri from the Saudi club Al Shabab. The central defender, who was released from the last year of his contract, has signed on for a year with an option for a second year.

This Tuesday evening saw the last matches of the international break for September. Anthony Lopes, Jason Denayer, Joachim Andersen and Léo Dubois were involved.

Danish defender Joachim Andersen gave an interview to OL's club media to discuss the current period of confinement. He also spoke about his debut at the club in France and his best memories of this season.

Against Benfica, OL delivered a beautiful victory. It was a success owed to the collective and an unshakeable strength of character. After a reduction in the score that could have changed everything, OL didn't give up until registering a third goal.

In the first match of the return set of fixtures of the UEFA Champions League group stage, OL defeated SL Benfica (3-1) with Joachim Andersen's first-ever goal followed by the fiftieth of Memphis Depay in OL colors and a final goal from Bertrand Traore. In the standings, OL have a very good place, ahead of Zenit, beaten at home by Leipzig (0-2) earlier in the day, and moved into second place.

Joachim Andersen presented himself at a press conference on Thursday, ahead of Lyon's trip to Toulouse on the 12th matchday of Ligue 1 Conforama. His words can be found in full on OL PLAY.
