An emphatic Cristiano Ronaldo double wasn’t enough for Juventus as Lyon booked their place in the Champions League quarter-finals with the away-goals rule to thank.
Coming over five months after the French side claimed a 1-0 home victory in the first leg, a first-half Memphis Depay Panenka was enough to secure the tie for Lyon, despite losing 2-1 on the night.
In victory, Lyon will now face Manchester City next week in a one-off quarter-final as they battle for a place in the final four.
An under pressure Maurizio Sarri made six changes from the side that lost to Roma in the final game of their domestic season, with a rested Ronaldo coming back into the side, while Paulo Dybala was only fit enough for the bench. Depay was the notable inclusion for Lyon having missed much of the season with a cruciate injury.
It was Juventus – fresh off their Serie A title win who entered as favourites, but the away side struck first, former Manchester United man Depay dispatching the coolest of Panenka penalties to hand Lyon the lead and the home side a mountain to climb.
After what was a highly dubious penalty, Lyon were then handed a controversial penalty of their own, as Depay was adjudged to have handled a Miralem Pjanic free-kick despite the fact his arms were positioned firmly by his side.
