Lyon lost 0-1 to Bayern at the Allianz Arena, which was indeed an acceptable scoreline.

At least the Lyon coaching staff had said before the game that a small defeat away from home was perfectly acceptable.

So the whole Lyon team returned to France with a relatively relaxed mentality.

The results of the match were analysed by the French press for the first time.

'Bayern were lucky with a small victory, but that win wasn't solid.

"I believe Lyon can respond, and the second leg is definitely not a formality."

"Both teams in Ligue 1 have a chance to qualify for the semi-finals of the Champions League."

In another Champions League quarter-final match in which Ligue 1 teams participated, Grand Paris drew 2-2 at home to Manchester City, which was also slightly unfavorable.

The home team failed to win the opponent, and let the opponent get two away goals, and it is indeed difficult to go to the away side to advance in the second leg.

But it's not without opportunities.

There have also been many times in the history of the Champions League when a home draw was made to an away promotion.

In the round of 16 of the Champions League last season, Grand Paris drew at home and advanced away.

Overall, both Ligue 1 teams are at a slight disadvantage in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals.

However, both teams have a certain chance of qualifying, and it is not the kind of very unlikely chance that only exists in theory.

In the other two Champions League quarter-finals, Barcelona beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 at home, and the two sides were evenly matched.

The first leg was 2:1, which was indeed a very smooth score.

However, Atletico may have been a little unconvinced, as they opened the scoring quickly and then scored the goal of the goal, Torres was sent off with a red card, which is why they conceded two goals in the second half and were reversed.

Without a red card, they might have had a better score on the road.

However, the most unexpected match in the quarter-finals of the Champions League was between Wolfsburg and Real Madrid.

Wolfsburg, considered the weakest in the quarterfinals, actually caused a big upset, beating Real Madrid 2-0 at home.

That's a pretty big first-round lead.

In principle, this is a bigger advantage than Lyon's 3-1 lead over Chelsea in the round of 16.

However, according to the historical data of the Champions League, 2:0 is actually easier to be overturned than 3:1.

It's also kind of magical.

But there is one point, although Real Madrid is the team that has won the Champions League the most times, they are not strong in the Champions League.

Real Madrid have been knocked out of the last eight defeats in the first leg of the Champions League knockout rounds.

So the Spanish media began to discuss wildly again whether Real Madrid still has a chance to turn around and advance.

And Zinedine Zidane is also under suspicion.

Since taking over Real Madrid in January, Zinedine Zidane's performances have been mediocre.

Although there were two defeats to Roma in the Champions League round of 16, there was also a home defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Madrid derby.

In La Liga a few days ago, Zidane finally led the team to a 2:1 away reversal against Barcelona and successfully won recognition.

Unexpectedly, he turned around and lost 0:2 to Wolfsburg.

Upon his return to France, Lyon quickly plunged into preparations.

"Remember, be decisive in defense and never hesitate."

"We have to play tough at home or we don't even want to turn the tables around!"

Lyon's preparation training is still dominated by the Champions League, with Bayern as an imaginary enemy.

The away team only lost 0:1, and the home team definitely has a chance to fight.

Once you win, it's the Champions League semi-finals.

The team has only scored once in its history for so many years.

Therefore, the Lyon coaching staff directly arranged for the whole team to continue to prepare for the Champions League.

During the training, Zhang Chaoqiang also added a little reaction attribute.

On April 10, in the 33rd round of Ligue 1, Lyon challenged Bastia away.

Lyon had to play away from home before the two legs in a row against Bayern, which was a fixture downside.

The Lyon coaching staff responded by rotation.

Zhang Chaoqiang, Alexandre Lacazette, Valbuena, and the three key players did not make the squad for the game.

Fournier travelled away with a semi-main squad.

In the end, due to the lack of goal, Lyon lost 0:1 to Bastia away.

Counting the defeat to Bayern Munich in midweek, Lyon suffered a small two-game losing streak.

On the other side, Paris are also trying to prepare for the Champions League, and they have also rotated, and they are more thorough than Lyon.

Ibrahimovic, Cavani, Di Maria, Verratti, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, and several core players of Paris were rested in rotation, but they still won Guingamp 2:0 with Lucas Jr.'s brace and successfully opened up the three-point difference.

That's the gap in the overall squad of the team.

Even if Paris comes off the bench, most of the teams in Ligue 1 still can't play them.

Not so far as Leon.

Grand Paris' lead over Lyon has now been extended to four points.

The Parisian press did not miss this opportunity, threatening that Lyon could no longer withstand the pressure and was about to be defeated on all fronts.

In fact, everyone knows that Lyon suffered this defeat in preparation for the Champions League.

And the Lyon coaching staff also knew that the rotation was likely to lose points, but they did it anyway.

One is that the Champions League semi-finals are very tempting.

The second is that Grand Paris has always maintained a lead in Ligue 1 points, and Lyon has not caught up for almost a season, and it is very unlikely that they will win the championship by virtue of the last few rounds.

It's better to fight for the Champions League with your heart and see if you can continue to create miracles.

After the league weekend, the entire city of Lyon shifted their focus to the Champions League quarter-finals.

It's a real disadvantage to be four points behind Paris in Ligue 1, but at least Lyon have locked up the top two and qualified for next season's Champions League.

Now all the team has to do is to prepare for the game seriously, hoping to make good use of the time that has been paid for losing points in the league and strive for a reversal of Bayern.

On April 12, Bayern also came to Lyon a day early to prepare for the game in advance.

Lyon fans are very "enthusiastic" about Bayern, creating all kinds of noise to distract their opponents.

In Bayern's pre-match press conference, Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer said when asked about Zhang Chaoqiang: "I know he is a very good striker and he will score goals in the game......"

Although Neuer quickly changed the phrase "score a goal" to "strive for a goal", he was caught by reporters on the scene and spread quickly.

Soon there were reports on the Internet such as "Germany took the initiative to admit it" and "Neuer personally admitted that he was afraid of Super Zhang".

This is kind of a little bit of pre-match news.

On April 13, at 8:45 p.m. local time in France, the second leg of the Champions League quarterfinals between Lyon and Bayern officially arrived.

Lyon's lineup is still the same as in the first leg, and Bayern's formation is still 4141.

However, this time Pep Guardiola put Thomas Muller as a lone striker, Vidal mentioned in midfield, and veteran Xavi Alonso in the back.

As for the Polish center Lewandowski, he was placed directly on the bench.

'It was a very bold start, Pep Guardiola didn't start his team's top scorer Robert Lewandowski at all.

"While it's true that the Poles didn't perform well in the first leg, it was a surprise to put him on the bench just because of one game."

Commentators around the world have expressed their puzzling views on Guardiola's approach.

Any player has moments when he or she is not in good shape.

Because changing the lineup in one game is indeed a bit different.
