#4 Olympique Lyonnais
Despite the dip in their domestic form, Lyon showed great character to brush aside Spanish side Villarreal in their first leg of Europa League tie and looks set to progress to the next round.
The mercurial talent of skipper Nabil Fekir who has 21 goals this season pulling the strings in midfield alongside others like Lucas Tousart and free-scoring summer signing from Real Madrid Mariano Diaz means Lyon has a well-oiled machine that can compete for the trophy.
Motivated by the fact that the Europa League final will be staged at their own Groupama Stadium, Bruno Genesio's side will fight tooth and nail for glory in front of their home fans.
