Lyon 1 Real Madrid 1 highlights 22/2/11

Remarkably enough the team in world football who has the best head to head record with Madrid is Lyon. The sides have met each other six times and not once have the Spaniards come out on top. However, this time around Lyon will have a more titantic task with the revamped Real Madrid side who is under the leadership of one Jose Mourinho "The Special One" and so when the blancos travel to the Stade Gerland they will expect to be leaving with a victory. However the French did eliminate the Spaniards at this point in last season's competition and so madrid know they will have to respect their opponents and not take them too lightly.

Lyon hammered Lorraine side 4-0 lately but then fell to defeat in their last match so they are currently blowing hot and cold and Lyon boss Puel knows his side are not too confident to think they can turn over the Spaniards easily tonight.“Real Madrid are a different calibre of opposition but it's good to have prepared for that game by taking the three points in this one,” he explained, according to the LFP’s official website. The match takes place at Lyon and kicks off at 7:45pm.
