Eugenie the Sommer35 years, has decided to put an end to its long 15 -year stage in a Lyon Olympic in which he has won everything (33 titles). The French front and former international has said goodbye in an emotional video in which he says that “it is time to say goodbye.”
Le Sommer arrived at Lyon in 2010, with only 21 years. The front gala was a 'signing' of Jean-Michel Classrooms, a pioneer in the commitment to women's football, who saw in Le Sommer a key piece to build a historical team in this sport. And time proved him. Thanks to the '9' of the Olympique de Lyon, in addition to many of his other companions, the French club marked an almost unmatched time in the history of football, a story that has the 8 Champions League holder, five of them consecutively, which Lyon has won, being the first in 2011.
With its more than 300 goals, Le Sommer is an icon of the Olympique de Lyon and also of French football. A status that expands to Europe and, specifically, to the Champions League, where beyond the victories with its team is one of the most relevant players in history. “This club is an important part of my life. I will not forget that classroom call in 2010. I thank you to trust me,” the footballer continues.

“When I arrived I did not know what this adventure would influence me. I have been lucky to be able to wear this shirt with wonderful companions. I have been part of a team that has made history. Here he has learned to be a better soccer player and better person, I have learned to win and to lose and also to make it stronger. All these memories I take them with me.”
“Lyon is not just a club, it is pride and identity. Today I close a page, a chapter or perhaps a book. But this story will not be erased. Thank you all,” says LE Sommer.
