Olympique Lyonnais vs Real Madrid (1st leg)
UEFA Champions League | Matchday 1| Tuesday| 13 September 2005| 20:45 CET| Stade de Gerland
Real Madrid travel to France, to meet the Ligue 1 Champions. This will definitely be a tough match. Lyon have lost Essien and Le Guen, but they reinforced with 2 very good strikers in John Carew and Fred, Brazilian who scored 2 goals in his debut with Lyon. i would be very satisfied with a draw.
A big set back for Madrid is that Ronaldo is suspended for this match, cause of a red card against Juventus in last CL. Beckham and Pavón are doubts for this match due to injuries. next 24-48 hrs will be descisive for them.
