Lyon survived a Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired comeback from Juventus to hang on and book a Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City.

Leading 1-0 from February's first leg, the French side were handed a soft early penalty which Memphis Depay converted in style.

That left Juve needing to score three times to progress and Ronaldo got one back from the penalty spot.

He then thundered in his 130th Champions League goal but Lyon held on.

Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri may have guided his side to a ninth straight Serie A title but they were lethargic throughout and his position could be under threat.

Juve have not won the Champions League since 1996 and the wait goes on at least another year.

Uninspiring Old Lady

To question Sarri after one year in charge may seem harsh, but the reality is that in Turin - as in Paris and in Munich - winning the league is the minimum requirement.

Ending that now 25-year drought in the Champions League is the goal and were it not for Ronaldo, Juve offered next to nothing as an attacking force.

Six of Sarri's starting XI are in their 30s and they were painfully slow in approach at times, showing why they had only actually won two of their last eight games in Serie A.

Where there is the remarkable Ronaldo there is hope, and his second on the night was a superb, swerving left-footed shot from range that gave hope of another tilt at the business end of the competition.

But when Ronaldo headed a corner over the top, that hope was extinguished.

Ronaldo could yet win the trophy with a third team, joining Clarence Seedorf in an exclusive club, but time is running out for the 35-year-old. As it may be now for Sarri, too.

Lyon lock it out

Lyon were only seventh in the French top flight when the season was cancelled in April and this was just their second game back.

They held Paris St-Germain to a 0-0 draw in the French League Cup final last Friday night - losing on penalties - and were equally resolute in Turin.

Referee Felix Zwayer helped them out with a gift of a penalty as Houssem Aouar went down after a drive into the area, with Rodrigo Bentancur clearly winning the ball.

Depay converted with a fine Panenka chip, and Lyon always looked likely to see the tie out even after Ronaldo's double.

Depay was harshly adjudged to have handled while blocking a free-kick in the wall to give Juve a way back in and it would have been easy to cave.

But Aouar, Bruno Guimaraes and Maxence Caqueret all excelled in midfield as Lyon booked a one-off tie against City in Lisbon next Saturday night.

Man of the match - Houssem Aouar (Lyon)

To me, Juventus seems to be a bit unlucky, and apart from Ronaldo and one other person. His team mates didn't have alot of attempts just dominated the match.

said it countless times that juve is more dybala than cr7, he tried scoring two goals bt assuming he had dybala, he would have killed that match in that first half..

Shey he will now understand the support he was receiving from his madrid team mates back then...

No matter how good you are without a compact team you cant touch a trophy..

Ronaldo can score a billion goals but he cant at the same time play the midfield or even defend..

Ronaldo needs madrid just as madrid needs and misses ronaldo..

They said it was Messi’s fault that Barça lost to Liverpool after Messi scored 2 goals in the first leg and now Ronaldo got knocked out to Lyon after scoring 2 goals and they blame his teammates

Messi scored 2 and assisted 2 last time they played Lyon And no body saw nothing special about that Now Lyon push cr7 out you all are claiming it's sarri ���

Messi 19/20 in the worst Barcelona side I've ever seen: 43 games, 32 goals, 26 assists, 5 penalties.

Ronaldo 19/20 in a totally dominant Juventus side in Italy: 46 games, 37 goals, 7 assists, 17 penalties.

How was there ever even a debate ?

Only if Ronaldo did what Messi did last Season



Fraudnaldo For a reason

Bundled out of the Champions League twice by Two Teams Nobody gave a chance



Fraudnaldo for a Reason

Took all the glory for winning Serie A, while it's clear Juventus do not need him to win serie A



Fraudnaldo for a reason.

Juventus should just sell his ass off.. He can be so insignificant without creativity of Marcelo,Modric and Casemiro and Co.. This is the GOAT that wants to use round of 16 wins ballon d'or even if it's not cancelled without leading in goals or anything in the farmers league he plays for

Let me remind all you Ronaldo ass leakers.I did let you know time without numbers that Madrid didn't win UCL in four attempts with Ronaldo until the signed Bale and Bale helped Ronaldo take Madrid to la decima
The same thing is happening at Juventus.This Juventus side went to 2 UCL finals in 4 yrs without Ronaldo.Now with Ronaldo they can't even get past a quarter final.
Even Portugal needed Eder and the other guy

They need a Messiah,Ronaldo isn't one.
