#4 9 goals - Olympique Lyon 7-2 Werder Bremen, 8 March 2005
In the round of 16 of the 2004-05 season, French champions Lyon brushed aside Bremen in the second leg with a scintillating 7-2 display to advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament with 10-2 aggregate scoreline. Sylvain Wiltord scored a hattrick, while Essien scored a brace and goals from Florent Malouda and Jérémy Berthod rounded the game off.
Under Paul Le Guen, Lyon reached the quarter-finals and bowed out to PSV Eindhoven as the Dutch side progressed to the semi-finals. While the French side dominated the national league from 2002 until 2008, winning it seven consecutive times, they are currently in search of their success from the last decade.
With less than half a season to go, second-placed Lyon looks unlikely to catch leaders PSG, who are 11 points ahead, but are still poised to secure a spot in the qualifying stages of the next year's Champions League.
At the time, their game against Bremen in 2005, was the second highest-scoring game in the competition's history and it still remains the highest scoreline in the knock-out rounds.
