UCL R16 2019/20 | Lyon Vs Juventus

Lucky draw all things considered, one of the easier teams. Should be a clear tie.

Yea Depay and one of their other players tore their ankle ligaments. If Juve get knocked out Sarri will get the sack.

no way Juve get knocked out here

Easy tie for Juve. C Ronaldo will score for fun.

This tie
JJ

Kommander to improve his CL stats this season with goals in both legs

4-1 aggregate over both legs IMO

Depay masterclass incoming

He's out for the season you misinformed numpty.

Maybe you might consider changing that to Dembele if that makes you feel better...

shame, would have backed Lyon to go through if he was fit

incredible luck for Juve ffs

For the first time this season we have an (almost) full squad, not full fitness though since a lot of players are returning for this match or last match so they can't start yet. At least it's a full bench.

Chiellini, Costa, Khedira, Higuain, Bernardeschi are returning for this game on the bench.

The lineup looks like it will be:
Szczesny; Danilo, De Ligt, Bonucci, Alex Sandro; Bentancur, Pjanic, Matuidi; Cuadrado, Dybala, Cristiano Ronaldo

Garcia has likely the toughest tie of his career even if this Juventus is not as good as Allegri's let alone even Conte despite being individually far better than the latter.

Lyon don't even have the personal or Depay to thwart Juve the way they need to in breaking lightning fast on the counter and pressing in the middle given Sarri's Juve is slow, ponderous and rather predictable in their narrow game.

If it does work Juventus can be prevailed over and I hope he sets up his team well for that.

No chances we can save it today, probably the worst Lyon of last 10 years and Garcia worsened us even more, Juve to win with two difference goals at least.

Interested to see how Bruno Guimarães performs if he starts

this tie will be so one sided it wont be worth watching im gonna watch madrid v city i think.

Garcia IS good coach just is so naive as his team building progresses and lacks some key traits that makes him a great coach.

Does produce some wonderful football and is good with youth, subsequently.

No French team has ever managed to eliminate Juventus from anything, and it's not this one who's gonna do it.

We're getting F'd in the A tonight.

People are freaking out right now about the possibility of Juventus fans bringing coronavirus to the country.

ffs we've hit a crossboard now, Sczezsny never would have saved this

Man de Ligt has grown so much and is a natural leader. There is no stopping the progress of this gem.

That being said Juventus looking rather passive.

Marcelo of Lyon lucky not to get sent off but Dybala made a meal of it there.

TOUSARTTTTTTTTTTTT

Now he was bleeding, Juve under numerical inferiority, Lione took advantage of this and scored it.

1-0 to Lyon at 31 mins after a nervy start but catch Juve on surprise via the wings and the Italians rightfully pay for a lapse in defence even if it was 10 men temporarily for them.

ALLEZ LYOOOOOOOOOOOON
