@JM_Aulas sur @RTLFrance : « Le match contre la Juventus est confirmé le 7 août, à Turin et à huis clos. Si les recours n’aboutissent pas, c’est envoyer Lyon et Paris se faire massacrer par des équipes qui auront une préparation que les autres n’ont pas. » #Covid_19
The first leg was held in France on the 26th of last February, and Lyon settled it in his favor with a goal without a response scored by Lucas Touzart.
A few days after that match, football activity in Europe was frozen due to the Corona virus pandemic.
