Olympique de Lyon is the clear dominator of European women's football today. The team is current champion of the Champions League, a competition it has won in its last five editions and seven times in the last decade. A success of which Jean-Michel Aulas, president of the French club, is very proud. For this reason, the Lyon leader wanted to have an NBA detail with his players, with a ring of seven diamonds around the club's crest and an engraving that can read 'European Champions'.
The gift, whose seven small diamonds represent the seven Champions won in recent years, has been given to each of the squad members with a great reception in the French dressing room. “When your president asks you to marry. THANK YOU president @JM_Aulas for this magnificent signet ring”, published its goalkeeper Sarah Bouhaddi, recently chosen as the best goalkeeper in The Best.

The Olympique de Lyon goalkeeper was joined by other teammates such as Henry (“Personalized signet ring. Thank you president @JM_Aulas for this wonderful gift”) or Majri (“Thank you president @JM_Aulas for this gift. # 7”). Without a doubt, all of them have made history with the French team, which with these numbers and superiority these years have managed to be a legend of European and world women's football.
A success whose explanation can be found in the great work and commitment that the French club has done in terms of women's football. And that Lyon has been one of the biggest bidders for this category in recent decades. It all started when seventeen years ago Olympique de Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas decided to take over the women's FC Lyon, a small city club with a winning gene that led them to dominate the national league, then semi-professional, up to four times.
The Lyon president saw in this amateur team a market niche to be exploited in football and decided to embrace the model of FC Lyon, the seed of the current Olympique de Lyon female, with the transfer of all its players. It cost, like any project, for the results to arrive, but the club knew how to make the most of the potential of local players, with the financial backing of an institution like Lyon. The result of that bet is in a score of national and international titles in the last decade, with up to 14 consecutive league titles.
