Real Madrid tipped to reach knock-out stages tonight with first victory in Lyon
The Stade de Gerland is definitely not Real Madrid’s favorite ground. However, Los Blancos certainly have what it takes to make things work against Olympique Lyon tonight.
Real Madrid have experienced defeat at the Stade de Gerland so many times. They are yet to clinch victory at that venue but their marvelous form—both in La Liga and in the UEFA Champions League—could inspire them to a breaking of the Lyon curse.The Spanish giants have not conceded a goal in Europe and they’ve taken maximum points from their first 3 matches. Olympique Lyon, meanwhile, have only scored twice so far and they are 5 points adrift Real Madrid.
“We want to defeat Olympique Lyonnais because doing so would qualify us for the next round and we'd practically be group leaders for sure,” Real Madrid coach Jose Mourinho declared during the pre-match press conference on Tuesday.
