LIVE: Juventus vs Lyon

LIVE: Juventus vs Lyon

The teams are out on the pitch now, with kick-off just moments away.

In the knockout stage, Lyon are winless in their last 10 away games (D2 L8), failing to score in six of those. Their last away knockout win was in February 2006 against PSV Eindhoven.

Rudi Garcia makes just one change to the side that lost in the final to PSG. Toko Ekambi comes into for Dembele, who drops down to the bench.

Maurizio Sarri makes six changes to the team that started against Roma in their last league game. Ronaldo comes back into the side, along with Cuadrado, De Ligt, Alex Sandro, Pjanic and Bentancur.

LYON SUBS: Joachim Andersen, Moussa Dembele, Ciprian Tatarusanu, Bertrand Traore, Thiago Mendes, Rafael, Jeff Reine-Adelaide, Sinaly Diomande, Jean Lucas, Rayan Cherki, Kenny Tete, Melvin Bard.

LYON STARTING XI (3-5-2): Anthony Lopes; Jason Denayer, Marcelo, Marcal; Leo Dubois, Maxence Caqueret, Bruno Guimaraes, Houssem Aouar, Maxwel Cornet; Memphis Depay, Karl Toko Ekambi.

JUVENTUS SUBS: Aaron Ramsey, Danilo, Simone Muratore, GIanluigi Buffon, Blaise Matuidi, Paulo Dybala, Carlo Pinsoglio, Merih Demiral, Giorgio Chiellini, Marco Olivieri, Daniele Rugani.

JUVENTUS STARTING XI (4-3-3): Wojciech Szczesny; Juan Cuadrado, Matthijs de Ligt, Leonardo Bonucci, Alex Sandro; Rodrigo Bentancur, Miralem Pjanic, Adrien Rabiot; Federico Bernardeschi, Gonzalo Higuain, Cristiano Ronaldo.

Lyon won the first leg of the tie 1-0 back in February thanks to Lucas Tousart's goal. The French side have won three of their last five games (D1 L1), but their last outing ended in disappointment as they lost the Coupe de la Ligue final to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties. Since the first-leg, Juventus went on to claim their ninth consecutive Serie A title, but come into this match having won just two of their last eight matches (D2 L4), losing their last two games.
