Real vs Lyon Why is it Important That Madrid lose

Apart from the fact that its the only major trophy that Real Madrid and its fans want this year. This match is very important because the last two year's the teams that did boot Lyon from the champion's League ended up winning the Champions league, Man Utd in 08 and Barca in 09.

This win for Real will not only boost their confidence to such an extent that they just might have a metal upper hand before entering any subsequent games but also give some sort of validation to the exorbitant spending of 250 million.The odds are stacked against Lyon since they haven't ever scored in the Bernabeu in their last two visits, but then again Real have never been able to get passed them in their last two encounters.

Lets hope that Real see's a slump in their current form when they play Lyon, given that with their current form they just might massacre Lyon, and might give us a repeat of what Arsenal did to Porto last night.
Real might miss Alonso but I think many Real fans would not miss Marcello that is if he was playing the same positions as he played the last time they went head to head against Lyon.

Keeping in mind that Real have just ended their 19 year drought by beating Deportivo La Coruna and have found a foot for beating boogie teams this year, I will keep my fingers crossed and toss a coin into the wishing well hoping that the Whites don't make it through.But if they do win lets hope we meet and put them out of their misery.

VISCA Lyon
FORCA Barca
