Meltdowns, beautiful moves, and laughter: let's dive back into this crazy 2024-25 Ligue 1 season thanks to the ten most buzzworthy images... of the season! Fonseca's Outburst 😳 March 2, 2025, Olympique Lyonnais hosts Brest for the 24th matchday of Ligue 1. Advertisement At the end of the game, Paulo Fonseca is sent off by the referee, Benoît Millot. The Lyon coach, who had only arrived a few weeks earlier to replace Pierre Sage, loses his cool and presses his forehead against that of the man in black. A fatal head-to-head for the Portuguese coach, who was suspended for nine months and banned from the locker room for seven months by the LFP disciplinary committee. Donnarumma's Scar 😱 The terrible foul suffered by Gianluigi Donnarumma on AS Monaco's pitch last December made headlines around the world. It's "too corrupt" 😭 Matchday 23, OM is thrashed 3-0 on the promoted Auxerre's pitch. In the locker room at Stade de l'Abbé Deschamps, Marseille president Pablo Longoria completely loses it. An absolutely surreal scene that quickly went viral on the internet. When De Zerbi Threatened to Resign... The first leg between OM and AJA was also full of twists and turns! Advertisement Auxerre won 3-1 at the Vélodrome, and Roberto De Zerbi, in the post-match press conference, hinted at a possible resignation... Clash Between Presidents ⚔️ February 2025. The France 2 show "Complément d'enquête" and the newspaper L'Equipe got their hands on a video of a heated meeting on July 14, 2024, between Ligue 1 presidents in the middle of TV rights negotiations for the championship. Things got heated between John Textor and Nasser Al-Khelaïfi... John, the Cowboy 🤠 As fate would have it, a few days after these revelations, OL hosted PSG! Of course, John Textor showed up with a cowboy hat... A Doliprane for the Assistant 🥸 The return derby between AS Saint-Etienne and OL was stopped for several minutes after one of the assistant referees was hit on the back of the head by a coin thrown from the stands. Advertisement Fortunately, he took a Doliprane and the match was able to resume... No More Dining Out on Friday Nights 🥹 DAZN, this season's main Ligue 1 broadcaster, never really took off. The reason: the starting price (€30) for a monthly subscription to the channel discouraged many fans. Laurent Nicollin, president of Montpellier, then proposed a... rather unique solution in the pages of L'Equipe. Chevalier and Diakité's Funny Cigars 🧨 Lucas Chevalier and Bafodé Diakité celebrated Lille's victory in the derby against RC Lens with flares in their mouths. Not bad! The Will Still Style After PSG - Lens (1-0), Will Still was asked the most bizarre question of the season in a press conference.

Opella launches as an independent company to redefine the future of self-care
It is official: Opella is now a standalone company. Sanofi announced today the closing of the sale to CD&R of a 50.0% controlling stake of Opella, Sanofi keeping a significant shareholding with a 48.2% stake and Bpifrance owning a 1.8% stake. Opella is stepping into its next chapter with powerful backing, and a clear mission - 'Health in Your Hands' - making self-care as simple as it should be. This is not just a change of ownership. This is a bold move. As the third-largest global player in the €190 billion Over-The-Counter and Vitamins, Minerals and Supplements space, Opella starts a new journey in one of the most dynamic, resilient corners of healthcare – where megatrends like aging populations, digital access, and self-care demand are rewriting the rulebook. Opella is headquartered in France but thinks global. Its 100 brands – including Telfast, Doliprane, Bronchicum, Enterogermina, Maalox, Nasacort, Maxilase, Bisolvon and Buscopan – are already trusted names in homes around the world. The self-care environment is still far too complex, leaving most people who suffer without treatment. Opella is grounded in science, with deep consumer obsession and a commitment to sustainability, to offer solutions that help people access the care they deserve. Julie Van Ongevalle, Opella President and CEO: 'Going independent is not just a milestone. It is our moment. I am proud of our talented team of 11,000 who made this happen. With the right partners and a sharp focus, we are set to reshape how people everywhere manage their health – simply, confidently, and on their terms.' Feirouz Ellouze, General Manager of Opella AMET Zone (Africa-Middle East-Türkiye) 'At Opella, our mission is to simplify self-care, making it as simple as it should be. We work together with all our stakeholders to enhance health literacy and extend our vision of 'health in your hands'. This new chapter at Opella is dedicated to advancing our journey towards becoming fast-moving consumer healthcare company globally. We firmly believe in our people and their ability to create a lasting legacy in the countries where we operate.' David Taylor takes on the role of Chairman of Opella's Supervisory Board. Former Chairman and CEO of Procter & Gamble, and current Chairman of the Board of Delta and Senior Advisor to CD&R funds, David brings decades of brand experience, people-first leadership, and a deep belief in doing things better. David Taylor, Chairman of Opella's Supervisory Board: 'What drew me to Opella is a mission with meaning, a company with courage, a talented team, and a business ready to break new ground. Opella is not here to tweak the system – but to reimagine it.' The priority is clear: strengthen trusted brands and deepen presence in key markets. The possibilities are endless – from prescription to over-the-counter switches to smart acquisitions and geographic expansion. This is more than independence. It is the freedom to act. The power to simplify. And the drive to redefine the future of self-care.

Sanofi (SNY, Financials) Completes Opella Deal, Creates Consumer Health Leader
Sanofi (SNY, Financials) closed its previously announced deal to carve out consumer health business Opella into a standalone global leader, marking a strategic pivot toward pure-play biopharma operations. Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Sign with SNAP. The French drugmaker completed the transaction with private equity firm Clayton, Dubilier & Rice, selling a 50% controlling stake in Opella. Sanofi maintains a 48.2% share, while state-owned investor Bpifrance holds the remaining 1.8%. Sanofi reported net cash proceeds of about 10 billion ($10.7 billion) from the deal, which it had outlined earlier in 2024. The company said Opella will now operate independently with over 11,000 employees, 100-country reach, and brands like Allegra, Doliprane and Dulcolax. Sanofi said the divestiture supports its aim to become a focused biopharma player. CEO Paul Hudson said in a statement the deal enables Opella to pursue long-term growth with the operational and financial backing of CD&R. The deal echoes a broader industry trend of large pharma companies shedding non-core consumer units to concentrate on high-margin drug pipelines. Investors may monitor how Sanofi deploys the proceeds amid growing competition in the biopharma space. Meanwhile, Opella's next phase of international expansion could influence valuations if it prepares for a future IPO or further M&A. See insider trades for SNY. Explore Peter Lynch chart.

9 surprising things about French pharmacies
Pharmacies in France do all the things that you would expect, such as dealing with prescriptions and dispensing medicines. They also, as in many other countries, sell make-up, skincare products, sunscreen and baby items. But there are some extra items and services in French pharmacies that often come as a surprise to foreigners. Over the counter medicines In France, only pharmacies are allowed to sell common over-the-counter remedies such as paracetamol, aspirin and cold and flu remedies. You cannot get these in supermarkets, petrol stations or grocery stores. These medications often appear under different brand names in France - if you want a basic over-the-counter painkiller, ask for it by the brand name of Doliprane (which is paracetamol). Consultations Although over-the-counter remedies can be obtained without a prescription in France, they're stocked behind the counter so you will need to ask the pharmacist for what you want. Depending on the medication it's common for them to ask you a few questions to make sure you're getting the best product - so if you have a cough and want a cough syrup, expect to be answering questions on the type of cough you have, how long you have had it and any other symptoms. All pharmacies are required by law to have at least one fully qualified pharmacist on the premises at all times, and you can request to speak to them if you have a medical question. Pharmacists are highly qualified so you can go to the pharmacy for a consultation on any aspect of your health - if the pharmacist thinks that it is beyond their area of expertise they will advise you to visit a doctor and can usually also point you in the right direction to find the best local health services. Advertisement READ ALSO 11 things you can do at a French pharmacy First aid and medical services The other thing that pharmacies offer is first aid services or treatment for injuries that aren't bad enough to need hospital treatment. Likewise if you have visited a hospital and end up with a dressing that needs changing regularly or a similar ongoing need, you might be advised to go to a pharmacy and get it seen to. The great advantage to using a pharmacy for this sort of service is that there is one on nearly every street in France (well not quite every, but there are a lot ) and you don't need an appointment. You can, however, make appointments for some of the other things that pharmacies offer - including giving vaccines for Covid or flu, testing for tonsillitis/strep throat or urinary tract infections. Since 2023, pharmacists have been able to dispense antibiotics without a prescription following a positive tonsillitis or urinary tract infection test. Heavy legs products If you're in a pharmacy in the summer you're also likely to see a shelf of products for les jambes lourds (heavy legs). This appears to be an ailment suffered only by Frenchwomen and pharmacies are very keen on providing - and advertising - products to deal with it. These are mostly heavy-duty stockings to improve the blood flow in the legs, but there are also numerous herbal remedies that make slightly dubious claims about heavy legs. Teas Which brings us to tea - you can buy a lot of different types of tea in a French pharmacy, mostly herbal teas or tisanes . Some of these make vaguely health-related claims promising to aid digestion, sleep or circulation, others just have nice flavours. In fact, you'll find a huge variety of herbal remedies, vitamins and food supplements available in most French pharmacies. The French are also devotees of homeopathy, which until recently was reimbursed by the health system. That's no longer the case, but homeopathic remedies abound in pharmacies. Advertisement They'll check your mushrooms No, this isn't a medical procedure, but if you have been foraging for mushrooms, French pharmacies will check your haul to ensure that you haven't accidentally picked any dangerous ones. Skincare might be surprisingly cheap Like most countries, French pharmacies often have a big range of make-up, skincare and beauty products, including the big French brand names. If you're coming from the US, you're likely to find these considerably cheaper - this isn't really a surprise if it's a French brand but the price difference is enough to make French pharmacies something of a TikTok trend . Crowds Perhaps for all the reasons outlined above, French pharmacies tend to be busy places, and you'll likely have to wait if you want a consultation. The people in front of you in the queue probably won't be in too much of a hurry and if you eavesdrop on their conversation (which you're doing purely to improve your colloquial French, by the way) you might notice that there doesn't seem to be that much wrong with them. It's almost as if they're just there for a day out. After a few years in France you'll stop finding this weird and start to wonder whether Saturday would be a good day for a nice trip to the pharmacy to stock up some tea and heavy legs stockings. Advertisement Useful vocab La pharmacie - the pharmacy Le pharmacien - the pharmacist La parapharmacie - the 'para' pharmacy is one that cannot dispense medicines, and only sells health and wellbeing products. They also do not offer consultations or medical services La pharmacie de garde - the on-duty pharmacy. Most pharmacies close on Sundays and public holidays, but there is a rota to ensure that one stays open in each area. You can google pharmacie de garde + the name of your commune to find the nearest open pharmacy on a Sunday or holiday.
