General perception

Lyon has played with an unstable performance this season.

Meanwhile, Barcelona just had a 1-0 victory over Real Valladolid – a match in which Lionel Messi scored a goal from the penalty spot but also missed another penalty for Barca.

Despite playing at home, Lyon will definitely be considered the `underdog` in the match against Barca and will need to play with more than 100% effort to hope to surprise Lionel Messi and his teammates.
