OL Lyon’s Under-21’S Played 11K Minutes In The 2022-23 Season, The Highest In The Top-5 Leagues

According to a Safebettingsites.com report, Lyon’s under-21’s accumulated 11,000 minutes of playtime in Ligue 1. That figure made them the players in that age category with the most game time across the top 5 leagues.

Safebettingsites’ football pundit Edith Reads argues that this record speaks volumes about the club’s commitment to youth development. It also reflects these young players’ exceptional performance. Edith She holds:

“Their (Lyon’s under 21’s) impressive playtime demonstrates the trust and faith the senior team’s coaching staff placed in them and the club’s commitment to fostering young talent. By offering substantial opportunities to these players, OL Lyon has created a platform for their growth and development, allowing them to gain invaluable experience at the highest level.”

Taking second place was FC Barcelona, whose under-21’s played a total of 8,555 minutes. Relegated EPL side Southampton came in third with 7, 687 minutes. Rennes (4th), Montpellier (5th) and Troyes (8th) completed the French quartet in the top 10, underscoring Ligue 1’s prominence in developing youthful talent.
