Lyon may have dominated the league in France in recent times but this has not always been the case. They sit tenth in the all-time results.

Here are the top 10 all-time French clubs:

1. Sochaux
2. Marseille
3. Metz
4. Strasbourg
5. Bordeaux
6. St. Etienne
7. Lens
8. Monaco
9. Rennes
10. Lyon

Lyon's biggest ever win was against Marseille in 1997, with an 8-0 home win.

Even with all of Lyon's recent league success, they have not won the league cup in France since 2000/01, the year before their amazing run began.
