Olympique Lyon 1-1 Real Madrid: Lucky French Survive
On Tuesday night, Olympique Lyon showed again that their luck at the Stade de Gerland against 9-time UEFA Champions League winners Real Madrid was no fluke. In a scrappy game as it was, Bafetimbi Gomis had the final word after former Lyon play maker Karim Benzema broke Real Madrid’s barren record in terms of goals away to Les Gones.
In fact, Olympique Lyon had to thank the wood-work for saving them a couple of times in the early stages of the second period. Firstly, Cristiano Ronaldo – who has quite a good record against French teams – smashed a free-kick off the top of the post in the 49th minute. A few seconds later, defender Sergio Ramos also had his header from a corner hit the wood-work.
