36% Ball Possession LYON and 64% Ball Possession JUVENTUS
Lyon 1 – 0 Juventus 
31′ Lucas Tousart
Juventus failing to win the Champions League Group Round of 16 game First Leg against Lyon on Wednesday 26 February 2020 at the Groupama Stadium in Lyon, France. This is a tough defeat because Juventus did not play a convincing game. The pressure is to win the Second Leg match on Tuesday 17 March 2020 at the Allianz Stadium.
The situation for Juventus is complicated in the 31st minute. It is Lyon to open the score with Lucas Tousart defeating Juventus goalkeeper Szczesny with a left footed shot in the top left corner. The assist is by Houssem Aouar. A quick response is needed and Juventus will have to regroup to find their way to the goal.

Result: LYON 1 – 0 JUVENTUS, the goal by Lucas Tousart.
This is NOT acceptable. I expected a victory for @juventusfcen and now must win the second leg on Tuesday 17 March at the Allianz Stadium.
