Find the notes of OL players, winners of Juventus Turin Wednesday evening in the round of 16 first leg of the Champions League (1-0).


Christophe Remise and Baptiste Desprez, special envoys to Lyon

Anthony Lopes (5) : In danger twice in the first period, on the paws of his teammate in selection Cristiano Ronaldo, the Lyon goalkeeper will not have suffered a single shot on target, even in the second period, when Juve pushed hard (14 shots, including 10 in the second half, none on target).

Léo Dubois (6) : Long absent from injury, the French international could have lacked rhythm, canes. However, he has brought a lot on his side, defensively but also offensively. Tired at the end of the meeting, all the same, he was replaced by Kenny Tete (78th).

Jason Denayer (6) : On the right in the defensive trio set up by Rudi Garcia, the Belgian international has undoubtedly not suffered as much as one might have feared against a certain Ronaldo.

Marcelo (6.5) : Patron of Lyon defense, the Brazilian has perfectly assumed his role, recovering many balls (7) and not hesitating to play the firefighter on duty (9 clearances). Warned (28th).

Marçal (6) : Solid on the left in the defensive trio, after a more complicated start to the match like most of his team-mates, the former Guingampais suffered more afterwards, when he went left, after leaving Horn.

Maxwell Cornet (6.5) : The best left side of OL is Cornet. The Ivorian international, often present at major events, again delivered a full match on his side. Warned (61st) and replaced at the end by Joachim Andersen (81st).

Bruno Guimaraes (7) : He taped Groupama Stadium for his second match in his new colors. At ease, never bothered by the ball and always inclined to offer solutions, the Brazilian has fulfilled his role as technical leader, a perfect complement to Houssem Aouar. Strongly following.

Lucas Tousart (8) : OL did well to keep it in the form of a loan after its transfer to Berlin this winter. In addition to his victorious goal, the midfielder, positioned higher than usual, made a high-flying copy. Impact, volume and sense of sacrifice. What an activity! An example for his own.

Houssem Aouar (8) : He loves light and supports it without trembling. Already decisive during the group stages against Leipzig, the midfielder released an XXL match with fine and well-felt gestures, an ability to play under pressure and to offer first-rate recovery solutions. It is he who offers the winning goal to Tousart on a high class action (31st). Dull on the end.

Moussa Dembélé (4) : First defender of his team, he responded in combat, with the mindset of a ragpicker to make life difficult for the Turin rearguard. But he also revealed his technical shortcomings at this level. Offensively, his performance was too limited. Completed the washed meeting.

Karl Toko-Ekambi (6) : With Guimaraes, it's the other good pick of the winter transfer window. Full of envy, pep and powerful in his right corridor, he met Garcia's expectations. By being dangerous like his head on the crossbar in the first period, while not reluctant to defend in the right lane. He gives way to Martin Terrier (66th), totally lost.
