OLYMPIQUE LYONNAIS VS FC BARCELONA – GROUPAMA STADIUM, LYON

Les Gones booked their place in the knockout phase of the tournament after navigating their way through a tough group F. They went unbeaten in six group stage matches against the likes of Shakhtar Donetsk and Hoffenheim before eventually finishing runners-up behind Manchester City.



Lyon currently occupy third spot in Ligue 1 in France and head coach Bruno Genesio will be optimistic of his sides chances on Tuesday. They have suffered just one defeat in their last nine matches and head into this fixture off the back of four wins from their last five in all competitions including a convincing 2-1 win over the league leaders PSG.

Nabil Fekir bagged his eighth goal of the campaign when he netted the winner against Guingamp in Lyon’s last outing played on Friday evening.
