Prior to contesting the preparation matches, the team trained in the mountainouscommune ofTignes. On 7 July, Lyon contested their first match againstSwiss clubServette at the StadeEric Cantona in Tignes. Lyon won the match 3–1 withEderson scoring a brace in a span of four minutes. The following week, the club embarked on a road trip first traveling to Portugal to playSporting CP inLisbon. Lyon lost the match 2–0 conceding the first goal in the 3rd minute of play courtesy ofTonel and, later in the second half, allowing a goal from wingerYannick Djaló to seal the match for the home team. Lyon then traveled to Italy to playJuventus inCosenza on 24 July. The team suffered their second consecutive defeat losing to the Italians 2–1. Lyon, initially, took the lead following a penalty conversion from Ederson in the 22nd minute, his third goal of the pre-season campaign. However, following anAly Cissokhored card midway through the first half, Lyon played the rest of the match with ten men and conceded a penalty to Juventus, which was converted byAlessandro Del Piero in the 39th minute. The game-winning goal was scored by midfielderSimone Pepe in the 75th minute.
After departing Italy, the team ventured to England to participate in the 2010 edition of theEmirates Cup. Lyon contested matches on back-to-back days againstScottish clubCeltic and Italian clubMilan. In the match against Celtic, Lyon took a two-goal lead courtesy of goals fromMichel Bastos and youth productHarry Novillo with the former converting a blistering free kick. However, following the entrance of several youth players for Lyon, the club conceded two late goals from Celtic to even the match at 2–2. Against Milan, several veteran players such asHugo Lloris andJérémy Toulalan made their debuts in the tournament. Lyon conceded the opening goal in the 55th minute with MilanstrikerMarco Borriello connecting on a cross from the left side after his shot was initially saved by Lloris. Lyon evened the match in the 79th minute with Jimmy Briand scoring his second goal of the pre-season after running onto a header following a perfect cross fromMiralem Pjanić. The 1–1 scoreline was eventually the final result and Lyon were set to be crowned champions of the competition, however, followingArsenal's 3–2 victory over Celtic, the debutantes were knocked back into third place where they remained. Prior to playing in the pre-season tournament, Lyon playedNottingham Forest on 28 July at theCity Ground inNottingham coming out of the match with a 3–1 win.
