Serie A champions Juventus were eliminated from the Champions League on the away goals rule on Friday night despite clinching a 2-1 away win over French club Lyon in the second leg of their last 16 fixture.
Juventus needed three goals to confirm their spot in the quarter-final but bowed out of the European competition after winning the game by a 2-1 margin.
Lyon hadn’t stepped in to the field in the past five months as France’s Ligue 1 was cancelled because of the coronavirus. The side put on a remarkable display to cement their spot in the last-eight stage where they take on Manchester City on August 15.
Memphis Depay successfully converted a penalty to go 1-0 in the 12th minute and Cristiano Ronaldo’s side then required three goals to progress to the next stage.
Ronaldo then pulled a goal back for the Serie A as he scored from a penalty in the 43rd minute. He scored a brace in the 60th minute to give his side a 2-1 lead.
Juventus nearly got the much needed third goal but Gonzalo Higuain’s header from close range did not find the net.
