Lyon are definitely no pushover at this stage. They also pulled off arguably the biggest shock of this season's Champions League group stage when they defeated Manchester City at the Etihad on matchday 1.

They currently sit in third place on the Ligue 1 standings and were responsible for the only defeat suffered by PSG domestically so far this season when they beat the Parisian 2-1 at home in February.

With players like Nabil Fekir, Moussa Dembele, and Memphis Depay, Lyon have more than enough in their Arsenal to harm anyone who underrates them.

While they might be some way off matching the illustrious history of Barcelona, they do have some pretty impressive resume in Europe. All in all, it would be very unwise for Barcelona to take their visitors for granted.
