Juventus vs Lyon 2020 (Juve-OL Expected Goals Below)
Final score and result: Juventus vs Lyon 2-1 (Ronaldo*2/Depay)- Agg Juve 2 OL 2 (Lyon win on away goals)
Juventus Stadium, Turin- 7 August, 2020
Cristiano Ronaldo scores a brace, but Memphis Depay’s panenka penalty earns Lyon a spot in the last eight on the away goals rule
This Lyon penalty vs Juventus was a very controversial one from the second leg of their CL knock out tie, with Rodrigo Bentancur seemingly penalised for a foul on OL’s Aouar. Replays however clearly showed that Bentancur got the ball, with clarification later coming in that it was for a foul by Bernardeschi (Jersey 33) and not Bentancur. Memphis Depay stepped up and to add insult to injury for Juve, scored a cheeky panenka penalty, and it was this goal that knocked Juve out on the away goals rule.
Here is a look at the predicted starting lineups for tonight’s Juventus vs Lyon Champions League clash from the Italian and French newspapers. We’ve collated this info from three papers. The winner of this clash in Turin goes on to meet the winner of the Real Madrid Man City one.
Somewhat interestingly, all three newspapers have the same predicted starting XI for both sides, which gives us a fairly good idea of who will be taking the pitch tonight- Juventus in a 4-3-3 formation, with Olympique Lyonnais in a 3-5-2 one.
Predicted Juve lineup (4-3-3): Szczesny; Alex Sandro, Bonucci, De Ligt, Danilo; Rabiot, Pjanic, Bentancur; Ronaldo, Higuain, Cuadrado
Predicted Lyon starting XI (3-5-2): Lopes; Marcal, Marcelo, Denayer; Cornet, Aouar, Bruno Guimaraes, Caqueret, Dubois; Memphis, Dembele
