Think this game has sealed your fanship for them officially. Great club to support too. Amazing atmosphere, great fans (bunch of primadonnas), great stadium, history and the best city in France too. I hope to see it as your second team.  

you're right in that it did start somewhat due to FIFA, but it was actually back when they had Gourcuff (I was a Gourcuff fanboy and thought he would be GOAT) and Bastos days

starting following  them again because of Fekir, Tolisso, Lacazette and now Depay moving there

the ironic thing is that the majority of my fathers family are from Marseille and are die-hard Marseille fans that would disapprove

No I believe you and would respect if you follow them further beyond this talent pool they have which was mostly post-Puel and was incepted by Garde, who built most of this team. Lyon will never be a flash in the pan as inevitably the big clubs will pry off Laca and Fekir etc but they will always be relevant. Keep a close eye on them as they are frustrating but moments like this game are not rare in them. Ligue 1 is a better and stronger league than you think friend. And only will get better from here.

As for your family, I agree. Keep it under the wraps

Totally agree,  I symphatize with Lyon since Inter faced it in Uefa '97-'98 . But I preferred the Gerland,  not a fan of modern stadiums

Agreed Fra. Gerland is one of the most fun and natural stadiums in the world to be at. Always a beautiful atmosphere and presence and cant wait for them to renovate it.

Guys we still got Diakhaby, Morel, and potentially Yanga-Mbiwa in defense for the second leg 3-0 or 3-1 for Roma is a very likely score if our attack doesn't step up. We're just as inconsistent as they are.

On a side note, the 4 goal scorers tonight are all youth products.

Lyon

Farfan we did it ffs



Although 4-2 is still favouring Roma since they can easily score 3-4 at home and their defence is better there lol.

Is Fekir back to his best? He wasn't the same when he came back from injury, but it seems he has found his footing?

Getting thrashed by Lyon so they could avoid getting hammered by United again. Safe thinking from Roma.

Fekir wasn't key here, he came on at the 70th minute.

Tbh, I'm not even surprised. Both sides only played 45 mins, Lyon simply did more with theirs than we did with ours..

I can see us scoring the required 2 goals in the next leg. Just not seeing a clean sheet to go with it.

The Ides of March strike again.

Lyon is probably going to lose all 3 of Lacazette, Tolisso, and Fekir this summer.

Sad state of affairs.

Lyon-Roma was great to watch last time, it should be really fun again. Looking forward to it.

Roma finally won after 3 losses in a row. So they are in a bit better spirits than they were going into the first leg probably. Season defining match for Roma.

I think Roma wins tonight, not sure that it will be enough to overturn the 4-2 in france.

Charlie Stillitano predicted a 3-1 Roma win on the Football Show this morning. He is usually pretty good at predictions. Should give Roma fans some hope.

How is Krasnodar's stadium this nice??

Best eastern european pitch that i can remember

Yea Roma should win this I think.

Besiktas versus Olipiakos is a frigging war. They are really going at it.

Aboubakar red card, Besiktas is screwed. Aboubakar cold cocked an Olympiacos player LOL. This is a battle.

Celta Vigo are having some EL campaign.

May they go all the way. The LFP didn't want to help us make sure the game went ahead. Let us play it in June, serves them right

The lolz if Celta win the cup probably won't though. They'll flop against the big teams

You were saying...

Ryan Babel scored twice ffs

What year is this

It's OOOOON

Are we resting tonight zigra?

I am. Haven't seen anything worth a bet. Maybe at half time but I doubt it.

Roma to qualify is an interesting bet. A possible one too.

Rudiger should have scored. Great start by Roma

wow

Roma Lyon looks an incredible game
