Following terrific wins for FC Girondins de Bordeaux and Olympique de Marseille on Tuesday, Olympique Lyonnais will look to make it a clean sweep for French clubs in the UEFA Champions League when they host Liverpool FC tonight.
French first
Claude Puel's side pulled off one of the results of the season so far with their victory at Anfield on Matchday 3 and will join Bordeaux in the knockout phase should they draw tonight at the Stade de Gerland. Bordeaux, who beat FC Bayern München 2-0, and Lyon lead Group A and Group E respectivley and Marseille, 6-1 winners over FC Zürich, have dragged themselves back into contention as well. Granted OM have difficult games against AC Milan and Real Madrid CF to come in Group C, but as things stand all three French sides are well placed to reach the knockout phase for the first time.
Lyon test
French sides have the best winning percentage – nearly 73 per cent – of any nation in the UEFA Champions League this season, and should all three go through this could be France's best year in the competition since AS Monaco FC reached the final in 2004. Do you expect Lyon to make it three wins in three games for French clubs on Matchday 3 against Liverpool tonight? Will all three qualify for the knockout phase and if so, just how far can they go?
