    Saw them play when i was in france last year, told my bro when the group stage draw wasa made to put a fiver on them, think they were around 66 to 1, still think they'll make the final at least, and they almost have their 4th french league in a row wrapped up

    i think they have been excellent against manchester, they had 10mn of lack of concentration which cost them the lost in oldtraford.

    i would say that they learnt a lot, they will not make again this mistake.

    if we can go far enough, it would be a pleasure to beat chelsea. we have a revenge to take against mourinho, i can't stand this guy.

    In fairness teams can do very well in the Champions league because of the draw. There is no seeding in the latter stages and if you get out of your group you could nearly end up in the semis or even final due to the bigger clubs taking each other out.

    Lyon are doing very well in the french league but its not one of the best leagues in Europe. I cant see Lyon going all the way. Last year was a once off, I expect the bigger teams to make the final.

    Definately over-rated, can see them possibly making the semis but then I would imagine they would be eliminated easily enough.

    Scored lots of goals in the groups, but then again they had two whipping boys in the group (granted Fenerbache can be tough at home, but are a push over when away). Did well to put three past Bremen, but the second game was a total non contest so I wouldnt read anything into them scoring seven.

    I could even see PSV eliminate them to be honest. Having said that, credit where its due, any team in the last eight of the CL can hardly be that bad.
