This is a neutral site battle (Lisbon, Portugal) for the Champions League quarterfinal. Olympique Lyonnais finished seventh in the French League-1, yet stunned Italian champions Juventus to get here. They had just 11 wins, with 10 losses, during the French regular season. This will be only their third competitive game in five months, the other being a defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Coupe de Ligue final on July 31. They face a tough challenge against a star-studded Manchester City squad that was second in the English Premier League standings with the No. 1 offense and goal differential, blasting opponents by a 102-35 count. Manchester City is highly motivated after exiting the English FA Cup at the semifinal stage. Manchester City comes off a victory over a talented Real Madrid team and is on a 6-1 run outscoring opponents 23-4. Fullback Benjamin Mendy returns from suspension to play in this one, so back the dominant English Premier League squad. Take Manchester City on the moneyline.
