CHAPTER 278: Lyon 1 - 1 Barcelona

Alternative title: Advantageous Draw in France


Positives

• Draw for Barcelona. We got that important away goal and Lyon did not win.

• Good header goal from Thierry Henry. It’s similar to that heading goal that Henrik Larrson scored at EURO 2004. The Frenchman was also in a good position and he capitalized on the opportunity when the ball after Marquez had headed it into direction towards the goal.

• Barça upped their game in the second half, compared to what was shown during the first.

• The result is perhaps the biggest positive, considering that with this current result Barça will go through to the next round.
  The only thing now is that Barça has to score more goals at the Camp Nou in order to seal that quarterfinal place.
  
  

Negatives

• Goal was conceded.

• Another ‘that typical’ howler of a goal conceded.

• Barça was not great in the first half.

• Dani Alves’ free kick was saved by Hugo Lloris, and the keeper further saved it when it seemed the ball bounced away from him.

• Barça did not manage to score any more goals.
