Lyon vs Juventus highlights

Juventus started off the game as firm favourites to go through to the next knockout round of the Champions League. Cristiano Ronaldo appeared to be in fine form in the build-up to the Lyon vs Juventus match. But fate had different plans. Both teams started off slow in the first half as the home team slowly grew into the game. They had to wait until the 31st minute for a breakthrough as French winger Houssem Aouar made a darting run on the left flank before finding Lucas Tousart with his cross. Lucas Tousart comfortably dispatched the ball to the back of the net as Juventus defenders were left helpless.

Juventus had all to play for in the second half but just could not manage to break the resolve of Rudi Garcia's squad. Cristiano Ronaldo and Co. registered 14 shots against Lyon but none of them were on target. The Bianconeri also enjoyed a good 63 per cent of possession but could not convert that into goals at the Groupama Stadium. The Lyon vs Juventus Champions League match ended at 1-0 in favour of the home team. Despite the unforeseen loss, Juventus still remain firmly in the tie with all to play for in the Second leg back home in Turin. Can Cristiano Ronaldo work his Champions League magic for the Old Lady? Only time will tell.
