Lyon robbed in the 80th minute by the ref! Now that would have been a grandstand finish... Again Lyon showing they can hold their own with the big boys.

Well i can't be too disappointed with that. Even though Bayern played a slightly weakened team we still held our own with the Elite League stars and were in the game right until the final whistle. There are a lot of teams who will get beaten by more than one goal by Bayern this season!
Shame about the penalty shout 10minutes from the end but we will hopefully save up our luck for the league this season!!
£2 million in gate receipts banked as well so all in all....pretty happy. Although in hindsight i maybe set up a bit negatively to begin with.
Well done (again!) John. We will meet again.....

Glad to get the pointless cup out the way unscathed and it's always a bonus to pick up another trophy.
Rested 6/7 of my first 11 but still had a very strong team out and was pushed all the way by an improving Lyon side, well played Neil.
Good to see new signings Moore and Vydra get off to good starts abnd push for a place in the first 11 this wkend. Pinedo and Burford also made a claim to be part of the 16 against Barca.
Xavi struggled a bit before being withdrawn but he'll soon gel with the lads and RVN made an apparence after struggling with injury pre season.
All in all a good outing for the boys but the real business kicks off at the Nou Camp
