Olympique Lyon prevailed in the group stage of the Champions League by just one point ahead of Benfica Lisbon and Zenit St. Petersburg. OL got the decisive point for the entry into the knockout round thanks to a 2-2 win against group winners RB Leipzig , who has already booked his semi-final ticket, and that after a 2-2 deficit at the break.
In the second round, Lyon then managed the big coup . OL lost the second leg against Juventus Turin with 1: 2, but the 1: 0 at home from the first leg was enough to throw the big favorites out of the premier class. Striker Memphis Depay took the early lead with a penalty and calmed the Lyonnais' nerves. At that point, Juve would have needed three goals to advance, Cristiano Ronaldo's brace was not enough in the end.
