Very much so. Basically spotted them like an hour of the game
Champions League Knockouts (12 Aug - 23rd Aug)

How can the teams below Juve be superior to them??Laughing at the people who thought I was crazy for saying Lyon are a better team than Juve this season. This game proves that point for me yet again.
Y'all are looking at team names rather then how both sides have actually performed and played this season Juve have some better individual players but when you see how the team collectively plays its piss poor. Yes Juve won their league title but if not for many fortunate circumstances they could have fairly easily ended in 4th this season as all of Inter, Lazio, and Atalanta were superior teams. I hope Juve make many changes next season or they are fecked.
Lyon play good effective football and their midfield was/is far superior to Juve's. Not even to mention there interchanging attacking play with there front line.
Very exciting young talents to look out for in this Lyon team. They are very dangerous on the break and play a very good pressing game and there defense is very solid.
@Daysleeper you are one of the people who tried to go against my point
The mind boggles....
But they didn't lose points in them games, they won them. Football is 50% luck, Lyon were lucky tonight,
Crazy to say what you have really!! As I say, the mind boggles
Man City playing on cheat mode continues to flatter to deceive in the Champions league, makes little sense why they are made favourites each year. No fluke for Lyon either who had no fear of City after getting two results against them last season including a win in the Etihad Stadium.
I love the CL. Greatest tournament in the world.
There's a shout for more one -legged ties to if they allow more upsets.

God I’m glad I decided to watch the match
This season has truly been a disaster for City. I wonder if Pep is there when the new season starts.

I still stand by that. Lyon were more clinical than City but on the balance of the game they weren't 'better'.
Another Champions League quarter final, another tactical tweak out of nowhere, another defeat. Thanks Pep.
Probably worried about him getting more racist abuse online to be honest.
He really should have been advertising head ........................ &.............................shoulders.
McManaman: "We were expecting a routine victory tonight and that's not arrogance"
Just caught that.
Such an irritating pillock. Could they have found a more scouse commentator, either? It was an assault on the ears.
Love this tournament set up. It has been brilliant.
Two days of glorious Champions League outcomes.
Just wow...
Just wow...
That sterling miss is beyond inexcusable.
Bottle of white for me. What a couple of nights!In the end german and french teams showed up in MUCH better shape than everyone else
Also, Guardiola
It's kinda infuriating that we didn't make him pay for his overthinking
Still. Barcelona lose 8-2 and Guardiola goes out to OL back to back nights
I need a cold shower and 20 cigarettes actually
That is a different debate than what we had my friend. You were saying Lyon was a better squad and making it sound like them besting Juve wasn’t an upset. It still was a big one, but to your credit perhaps people have been underrating Lyon because this was their best game of the tournament
Agree. It should be made a permanent thing.
Seriously it's so much fun, it's like a World Cup. We'll never get back to this format unfortunately what with fecking over the fans and all but still.
The commentators would have their minds blown if someone told them that Lyon is historically a bigger club than Manchester City pre Sheikh purchase. Not everyone gets lucky with being bought by the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund.
Smiling like a Cheshire cat here whilst they're in mourning on BT Sport! Couldn't have happened to a nicer club!
So how much is pep going to spend on his defence and replacement goalkeeper this summer? Another 200m in a pandemic? He has already spent 60 so only another 140 to go.
Get me Aouor if Thiago is not available.
The narrative here will be they outplayed us, they didn't. They just took 3 gifts while we literally fluffed two sitters and shit the bed as per usual.
Thats exactly it. People dont watch games and just go off of names rather then how teams play and perform.
Thought exactly that! Longest neck ever seen on television!
Now they all know how difficult to keep form for CL, when having nothing else to keep you occupied...Two French teams in the semi-final of the CL, not bad for a farmer's league.
@Rozay i owe you an apology Sir, you were right.
It has been so entertaining, think there has been some arrogance and the smaller teams have stuck it to them. The big teams will not let this format continue.
City fecked in Europe again
They beat them in 2 games though overall.
Fair play Kylian!
The last two CL games have been so fulfilling it's unreal
Who'd have thunk that Manuel Pellegrini would have been City's most successful UCL head coach?
Now that Barca and man city are out
My heart is satisfied.

Just because he had a year strolling around there at the dog end of his career, he thought he had to give it the old bias tonight.
Enjoyable watching it unfold.
Lyon were absolute dog shit in Ligue 1 this season - they finished 7th ffs! 9 points behind 4th. Just because they somehow beat Juventus and Man City doens't mean they're a great team.

The long break they had is probably helping them.
Opinion might be a bit divided on DDG but at least he’s a proper goalkeeper.
I did not see that coming. At all.
They were better and were full value for the victory
