2008/09 Season Lyon Away Matches

The 2008/09 season marked Lyon's transitional year following the end of their seven-year championship dynasty, and also Benzema's final season with the club, during which he netted 17 goals. The squad was anchored by core players Juninho, Hugo Lloris, and Cris. In a classic Champions League away match against Steaua Bucharest, Benzema scored twice and Fred added two goals off the bench in a 5-3 comeback victory. Lyon advanced as group runners-up before being eliminated by Barcelona. They finished third in Ligue 1, preserving their status as a powerhouse.
This jersey stands as a testament to Benzema's farewell season and Juninho's free-kick artistry on the road. Its bright yellow base with red and blue trim offers unmistakable recognition. Imbro's sash design epitomizes late-2000s jersey aesthetics. Its collectible value lies in marking the club's transitional era in European competition—paying homage to the legendary 5-3 comeback while allowing retro styling to celebrate the glory days of this Ligue 1 powerhouse. Preserve memories of this pivotal transitional season.
