Olympique Lyon will take on Real Madrid at Municipal De Gerland in France in the UEFA Champions League Group D clash this Wednesday, November 2, 2011. Lyon vs Real Madrid game kicks off at 19:45 GMT. Kaka, Alvaro Arbeloa and Marcelo are reportedly not to play for the matchday 4 game for having problems with their muscle. Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho didn’t include their names in his squad and left the trio in Spain. Real Madrid currently top of Group D with nine points from three games and will qualify for the last 16 with a win over Lyon.

Real Madrid are the only side still boasting a 100% record at the midway point of the group stages and their 4-0 mauling of Lyon in the last round of matches left them five points clear of both the French side and Ajax at the top of Group D. That means Mourinho’s men will save a ticket to the knockout stage with two group matches to spare should they win this Wednesday. However playmaker Mesut Ozil believes that facing Lyon at Stade Gerland will not be easy for the nine-time European champions.
Lyon’s defeat at Santiago Bernabeu two weeks ago left them third in the group, but level on points with second-placed Ajax Amsterdam and four clear of bottom club Dinamo Zagreb. Lyon will show their best to keep their pride as they face Real Madrid tonight. The French side have made it through to the last 16 in each of the past eight seasons of the Champions League competition. The Lyon vs Real Madrid game will certainly be tough for both sides and is entertaining to watch.
