Lyon vs Juventus: How to watch on TV in UK & U.S., live stream, kick-off time
Cristiano Ronaldo and co. will need to keep Moussa Dembele’s Lyon side at bay when they travel to Groupama Stadium for their UCL last 16 tie
Juventus will get the first leg of their Champions League knockout phase underway when they face off against Lyon in France on Wednesday evening.
The Serie A side are favourites heading into tie fresh from their weekend victory against SPAL, in which both Cristiano Ronaldo and Aaron Ramsey scored.
Lyon currently sit in seventh in Ligue 1, but top-scorer Moussa Dembele – who has netted 14 times in the league – will pose as a massive goalscoring threat for the away side.

The Italians have made winning the Champions League as a top priority, having not won the competition since 1996. Juventus had even bought Ronaldo – a five-time Champions League winner – from Real Madrid in a view to bolster their chances of winning the competition based on his wealth of experience, but were ultimately undone by an impressive Ajax side in last season’s quarter-finals.
