For Juninho, he is not so good, he's the kind of guy who would be whistled in San Siro lol, he never runs, and this year was a year-off for him !!

I meant big in terms success and competitiveness in France and Europe over the past 5-6 seasons.

In France, of course lol, it's the same kind of league that the ones of Scotland (Celtic and Rangers) or Netherlands (Ajax and PSV) for example, you have Lyon and you have all the others ... some clubs do a good year, but can't do a good year again the following one. The only exception was Lille but because of a poor decision from the city (refusing the stadium project) and from their president (selling players cheaply to Lyon because the presidents are friends), they have had a difficult season this year, even if finally their amazing coach (the best French one) did an amazing work with the youngs, allowing them to fight for the next UEFA Cup.

And for Europe, they never passed the 1/4 finals ... it's why everybody says they're not a big club at all.

I won't speak anymore about that here on this topic lol, I just wanted to give you one point of view from France ;D

that's fine Geotav. It's an interesting viewpoint.

Nice video of the prematch from the rows of Secondo Anello Arancio:
