CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 1º LEG QUARTER FINAL 2010: OLYMPIQUE LYON 1 - REAL MADRID 0 (VIDEO)

The "curse" of the Lyon "Stade Gerland" continues to haunt REAL
MADRID
who were defeated 1-0 by OLYMPIQUE LYON. In fact,
the French win is well deserved as the local team put in a very
serious, disciplined & well organized game that "chocked" Real
Madrid with intense pressure with every Spanish move. The French
did not show any shyness & planted a well studied strategic plan that
payed off for them tonight.

Real Madrid was uncomfortable & wrong footed all night, added to
which Xabi Alonso & Marcelo received yellow cards which will make them miss the return leg of this CHAMPIONS LEAGUE Quarter-Final tie.

The only goal came in the 47th min when Real midfielder Granero
lost the ball in the center to which MAKOUN received & riffled a
great long range shot that hit the back off the net. Watch the VIDEO
of the goal below:

From here Real Madrid attempted to come back with Benzema coming
on after a near miss from Higuain, who he substituted, to add freshness
up front, but Lyon kept firm with their thoughtout "defensive wall".

Real Madrid go home disappointed & with some thoughts on how to
turn around this Quarter-final when they meet again for the return
leg at the "Santiago Bernabeu" Stadium in Madrid. We expect Real
Madrid to have the home advantage & the quality to be able to win,
& well, to go onto the semis. However, tonight Lyon let know that
the Madrid objective will not be easy & that Real win need to fight
& win well to stop them from going to the next phase instead.

real madrid played like shit, xabi alonso maybe played the worst game of his career and mamadou diara should just go back to mali, he is way past his level here. i could go on and on about the rest as well

but can u please explain to me how this referee made a champions league fixture? english referees should not be allowed to leave england.

and how on earth are you supposed to play football on a pitch like that?
