FC BARCELONA 5 OLYMPIQUE LYON 1 | CHAMPIONS LEAGUE RESULT

UEFA Champions League action tonight with the last remaining Spanish Club in the competition. FC BARCELONA hosted OLYMPIQUE DE LYON with the tie totally open as the 1ºst leg result from France was a 0 - 0 draw. FC Barcelona was warned to be alert & fully concentrated as they had the precedents of Real Madrid & Atletico de Madrid, both with positive results from their 1ºst leg games but both eliminated after their return encounters.

Here is a brief summary of events, goalscorers & the final result.

Overall a relative comfortable night & good performance for Barça
. The first half saw some Lyon attempts that were fairly well neutralized, but it was Barcelona which scored first when Luis Suarez was fouled in the penalty area. A controversial penalty was awarded - did not look like a penalty - that LIONEL MESSI converted in the 17th min.

Lyon then lost their goalie Lopes half way through the match & COUTINHO scored the second for Barça in the 31st min. Things looked at this stage well by halftime.

However, the second half turned into a complicated situation when LYON scored in the 58th min through TOUSARD, the French were back with a chance to turn things around to their favour & Barça got nervous.  Lyon had their moments & Barça passed through a difficult period, but Barça Coach Valverde moved the bench moving the pieces around & LIONEL MESSI made his appearance to calm things for his team. FC Barcelona scored their third goal in the 78th min through LIONEL MESSI taking the spirit & wind out of the Lyon sails.

From here it was Barça which took over & shut the door with a fourth goal by PIQUE in the 80th min & a fifth goal in the 86th min through DEMBELE

Goalscorers:

1 - 0 (17')(P.) Messi
2 - 0 (31') Coutinho
