5:45 p.m .: 

Before meeting you in 45 minutes to make you live the pre-match, and in particular the team compositions, we offer you a subject to put you in the mood.

We are looking at the case of Houssem Aouar, a player on whom many Lyon supporters are debating.

Its level is rarely questioned, its regularity or even its investment more so.

One year from the end of his contract, and even if he should start on the bench tonight, it is clear that he will want to shine tonight on a European stage where he has shown himself so much in the past.

We tell you all about it below, with in particular Armand Garrido, former emblematic trainer of the Lyon academy.

So see you soon for this crazy evening where you're going to chain two big lives with us, right?

Tcho tcho!

From Juve-OL in the Youth League to the Final 8 in Lisbon, @HoussemAouar "really sublimates in adversity", as his ex-coach @GARRIDOArmand points out.

Before the clash #FCPOL, @ 20Minutes leans with Bryan Ngwabije &Gérard Bonneau on his inconstancy https://t.co/XAZhnsNpZr

Hello and welcome here the 20 Minutos!

A match in a club the size of FC Porto, on a Wednesday evening at the opening of a certain Real Madrid-PSG, it's good, the flavor of the knockout stages of the Champions League is officially back for Lyon supporters, no ?

Jokes aside, this Europa League poster is really good, it's quite simply the most exciting match on the European scene for OL since the half of the Final 8 of C1 against Bayern (0-3), in August 2020 in Lisbon.

Deprived of the European Cup last season, and solid winners of a Europa League pool well within reach in the fall (16 points out of 18 at stake), Anthony Lopes' partners will play big this Wednesday ( 6:45 p.m.).

They had the good idea to trigger a coherent dynamic in the championship (9th, 6 points from the podium),

especially by signing their biggest success of the season in Lorient on Friday (1-4).

Apart from the (new) tile concerning Jérôme Boateng (muscular pain), OL will have all their vital forces for this shock, Sinaly Diomande and Rayan Cherki being injured for a long time.

So much the better because another world awaits them at the Estádio do Dragão.

Namely a big European reference, donated to the Europa League after having narrowly failed in a pool of death, behind Liverpool and Atlético de Madrid, but ahead of AC Milan.

A team capable of dominating Lazio Rome in the C3 play-offs, but above all of being undefeated for a year and a half in the Portuguese championship.

An incredible series of 53 games without the slightest defeat which speaks volumes about the regularity of Sergio Conceiçao's men, legitimate favorites in this double confrontation.

If Porto released its Colombian phenomenon Luiz Diaz (for 45 million euros) during the last winter transfer window, there is attacking talent everywhere in this team, between Vitinha, Evanilson and Taremi for example.

We can't wait to see to what extent Peter Bosz's OL can resist such a collective in a big European deadline.

The major objective will undoubtedly be to still be in a position to aim for qualification for the quarterfinals, at 8:45 p.m., before the return match on March 17 in Décines.

See you soon, friends.
