With fantastic Goal, Barca started the match very nicely after very well counter attack started from Messi then to Bojan and finished by Iniesta. Four minutes later from freekick Lyon brings the game again to the start point. In the secomd half from a penalty kick, Messi makes it 2-1 for Barca after he himslef had been brough down in the Box. Almost twenty minutes later Juninho from a penalty kick committed by Abidal, the home side equalises the game.
Xavi and Toure were the main characters in Barcelona performance, Toure appeared the way he did in the last weeks, being successful in cutting the balls from the opponent giving the freedom to Xavi to play more in the front line. The defense line didn't have so many problem, with Puyol and Milito, both were focused quit well. The only gap was coming from the right side, with Zambrotta mistakes, Frank found himself forced to replace him with Marquez, who stands next to Milito, moving Puyol to the right side. The only negative point that came from Abidal was the penalty kick in the second half, but in general his left side was not an easy path for Lyon. Bojan didn't get to touch the ball so often, but he was the main reason for the two goals that gave Barcelona the qualifying and the 1st place with 11 points.
Barca start line up didn't include Ronaldinho and Henry. Iniesta played in the left side while Bojan was in the front line as striker. Gudjohnsen took Iniesta place in the middle. But even so Barca didn't change 4-3-3 tactic.
No new tactics to be mentioned, the same way of players movment depending like usual on the wings from both side. One point was missed from Barca, shots from outside the area was not applied, except one in the first half was well done by Yaya, was saved by vercoutre. The team in general was fast enough but in the other hand side Lyon still is not Lyon last year.
