After winning the duel in the first match in Mancunian territory (2-1), Olympique Lyonnais hosted Manchester City at Groupama Stadium. A decisive encounter for both teams, and for which Bruno Genesio still relied on a defense to five, while Depay and Cornet composed the duo Rodanian attack. In the end, the two teams split on a parity score (2-2). The Lyonnais started strong, with two huge opportunities from Depay and Cornet (13th, 29th). If the debates were balanced, it is the formation of Genesio who offered the best opportunities, and Cornet, on a return acrobatic, hit the bar (43).
In the second half, the Citizens returned well in the meeting, and it was on a high point of City that the Lyonnais were going to score … Cornet and shot a superb shot, unstoppable for Ederson (1-0, 55). But Lyon's joy was going to be short-lived, as Aymeric Laporte quickly equalized, from the lead (1-1, 62nd). The rest of the game was fairly balanced, with hot situations on both sides. Maxwel Cornet, sparkling tonight, was going to hit again, well launched by Depay (2-1, 81st), but the Citizens were still showering Lyonnais quickly, with the goal of Sergio Agüero of the head on a corner kick by Mahrez (2 -2, 83e). The score remained there. OL thought they would qualify mathematically for the eighth, but Taison's goal in stoppage time allowed Shakhtar Donetsk to win against Hoffenheim. The men of Genesio must therefore at least hold a draw in Ukraine on the last day. The Citizens are qualified for the next round.
