Lyon's road in the UEFA Champions League stopped one step before the final in 2020. In the round of 16, Lyon eliminated Juventus after beating it 1-0 in France and losing 2-1 in Turin. From there, the event continued in the form of Final 8 in Lisbon in August due to the Covid-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

In quarterfinal, Lyon played against Manchester City. With Memphis Depay playing a great game, Lyon won 3-1 with 2 goals from Dembele and one from Cornet while De Bruyne had temporarily tied at 1-1. Lyon reached the semi-finals again after 2010 and faced Bayern Munich as it did then. The Germans were better and with 3-0 (2 goals from Gnabry and one from Lewandowski) they qualified for the final.<\/p>\n

Lyon used the gray shirt in most games. However, after the comeback of the Champions League, from the second game against Juventus, there was \"Merci\" printed above the badge in honor of the doctors who fought the pandemic. Also the font and numbers are different on the Champions League jersey compared to the French league<\/p>\n
