Real Madrid vs Lyon

 Any bit of fear at having to face our Champions League "bogey team" is hopefully gone from the minds of every Real Madrid fan since: Real Madrid CF beat Olympique Lyonnais 2-0!!
(Yes it's worthy of all bold, all caps even)

We beat our "bogey team" (coincidentally(?), days after Halloween) to maintain our 100% Group record and reserve a spot in the Champions League round of 16 with two matches to spare. (I wonder if Mou will use them to clear some yellows...)

Lyon were looking to protect a year-long unbeaten home record (24 matches) but such hopes were dashed by the 23 minute in which Cristiano Ronaldo netted a free-kick.

The locals were more aggressive after half-time. However, a challenge in the penalty area sealed their fate. Ronaldo converted his 100th goal as a Madridista in the 69th minute.

True or False: Ronaldo's first goal for Madrid was a penalty.


Cr7 nets his 99th goal for Madrid

Madrid will now look to clinch top spot by beating GNK Dinamo Zagreb. A now third-placed Lyon will have to beat Ajax, currently second, in order to continue their impressive record of always reaching the Last 16 for the past eight years.
