The Olympique of Lyon looks forward to to carry a positive result of the visit of the FC Barcelona, but the French will have it complicated seeing the precedents. In what it goes of Champions, the group directed by Génésio empató the three meetings that played home
The FC Barcelona will confront to the Olympique of Lyon this Tuesday to the 21:00 in the gone of the eighth of final of Champions League. Although the feelings that has left the team these last weeks are not good, the ones of Ernesto Valverde arrive to the meeting with the high morals after the defeat of the Madrid, that has caused that the Barça was more leader.
Besides, the group barcelonista would have to take into account that it confronts in front of one of the worst venues of these eighth of Champions. The Lyon did not attain an alone victory in this phase of groups of the maximum competition in Europe. The ones of Bruno Génésio alone empataron in the three meetings that contested in his stadium.
Curiously, in the three parties the French treaded the result, the 2-2. Against the Manchester City of Pep Guardiola on 27 November, against the Hoffenheim German on 7 November and against the Shakhtar Donestk Ukrainian the past 2 October. But the most curious is that it attained to happen invicto the phase of groups.
The only party that the Olympique of Lyon has won up to now in Champions was in Manchester, in front of the City. A surprising victory, but very meritoria that allowed them can happen to this final phase to play against the FC Barcelona.
In the new stadium, only a victory like venue in Champions
The Lyon premièred new stadium in January of 2016 and said goodbye to the mythical Gerland. In the Groupama Stadium the alone French have attained a victory in six crashes in Champions League like local since they inaugurated the field. In the last four meetings that has played the result has been of tie. The FC Barcelona knows that it would not be a bad result, but expects to arrive to the Camp Nou with victory.
Ernesto Valverde will not leave to anybody in the bench and Messi, Dembélé and Luis Suárez will form the tripleta in attack. Messi arrives after doing one of his more toneless meetings of the season in front of the Valladolid, Suárez after chaining several parties without marking and Dembélé tuning after his injury. Of them they will depend largely the options of the Barça in Lyon.
