Lyon Self-Destructs: Knocked Out 0-2 by Celta Vigo

Having topped the regular season group, Lyon harbored significant hopes and ambitions for the tournament. However, their journey ended prematurely in the Round of 16, as they were eliminated by Celta Vigo with a 0-2 defeat. Reduced to ten men relatively early after Niakhaté’s red card, ‘Les Gones’ valiantly resisted for an extended period before conceding the opening goal around the 60-minute mark. The Galician side then sealed their victory by extending their lead in injury time. Lyon will now shift their focus entirely to the domestic league, aiming to secure a top-three finish.
