Overview

  • Lyon return to Groupama Stadium needing to erase a 1-0 first-leg loss to Wolfsburg to reach the semifinals.
  • The match kicks off at 21:00 in France with live coverage on L'Équipe and Disney+.
  • After their first defeat of the season and a 2-2 league draw at Strasbourg, coach Jonatan Giraldez urged better finishing and said the team is ready at home.
  • The club expects stronger backing than usual after reporting more than 10,000 pre-reservations for tickets.
  • Lyon have won this competition a record eight times, so a quarterfinal exit would be viewed as a major underperformance.
