What if Lyon turns out to be this year's Roma for you?

Their coach has an Italian-sounding last name too.

Remember when you said similar before the Roma tie, it's not a good idea to be arrogant.

Lyon are not mugs, they are young yes and thus inconsistent but they showed against City (1 win and 1 draw) that they are not to be underestimated.

60:40 Barcelona I'd say

Interesting , looking forward to the game.

Easiest draw apart from Schalke/Porto & Ajax; first leg away, can't complain.

I'm happy with this. Reminds me of the good days. That 5-2 vs Lyon was back in 08-09 no? Messi had that great goal playing a one-two with Eto'o

Good to see Lyon back in the CL. I would have loved to see them play Madrid and beat them in the RO16 though, also just like the old days

Not a bad result for Lyon. They are usually good away from home in the CL and with Fekir back, you never know.

Big yikes

Lol Barca will smash them at home.

Let's not try and pretend any different, no such thing as a good result drawing at home.

a goalless draw is not bad. but Camp Nou is a different story...

But if you will draw, a draw with no away goals is as good as you can hope for

And a draw is a good result for Lyon.

They've given themselves a chance in the second leg, that's a good day for Lyon regardless.

We are hungry for the CL this season, so no doubt we will go all out at home for it, shouldnt be a problem, we are lucky though they are much up front, we could be in trouble if they had more.

Problem is we look quite tired already, and this is just the start of a run of really tough games, one every three or four days for like a month or something. Hope the players save themselves enough for the crucial times....

utter disinterest in this tie, eh? it's like ppl consider Barca to already be through

do you even know who Memphis is?

watching this for fekir

Messi panenka

1-0

penalty in favour of Barca at the Nou camp in an important match? I for one am shocked

Nah it was a pen. But Suarez did go down like he got shot
