Shaqiri, a flop for OL

The passage of Xherdan Shaqiri will not leave an unforgettable memory for the supporters of Olympique Lyonnais. The Swiss striker, too, will not retain much of the six months spent between Rhne and Sane, where he arrived last summer to seek the star status he has in the selection.
