Having joined Bordeaux in the Champions League knockout round after just four group games, Lyon now takes a break from European action to focus on wrestling the league title back from its French rival.

Lyon drew 1-1 with Liverpool at Stade Gerland on Wednesday to seal its place in the next round, but Claude Puel's team is in second place and trails leader Bordeaux by two points heading into Sunday's home game against Marseille.
