Game Preview
Juventus and Lyon play to determine who advances to the UCL quarterfinals, with the French side up 1-0 on aggregate after winning the first leg at home. Juventus, however, have been playing at their best since the Serie A season restarted in late June, and they cruised their way towards another league title, while Lyon have not played a competitive league match since March, as the Ligue 1 never resumed its season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. That might have an impact on the development of the game and, at least on paper, Juventus are clear favorites to reach the next stage in Europe's top soccer club competition.
