Juventus dominated the possession on the ground with 64 per cent, whereas, Lyon had 36 per cent.
Lyon has managed to beat Juventus for the very first time in European Competition (they had four encounters in the past where Lyon lost 3 and drew 1).
Last time Lyon won a knockout match in UEFA Champions League was back in 2012 (1-0 vs APOEL Nicosia).
Lyon remains unbeaten at home in the UEFA Champions League for nine consecutive matches (Won 2 Draw 7). This is their longest run since December 2006 (18 matches streak).
Matthijs de Ligt was struck by a nasty head cut after he tripped while attempting a header in the opposition goal box. He was forced to leave after blood pours due to the cut. He has stud marks as Sandro landed on him.
The defender came back on to the field sporting a unique bandage and was able to complete the 90 minutes.
Juventus will look forward to overturning the scoreline at their home fixture in the second leg.
