Lyon have only lost two of their last 14 home matches against Spanish teams in major European competition (W7 D5), and have never lost when hosting them in a knockout stage match (W3 D3).
Celta Vigo are unbeaten across their three games against French sides in this season’s UEFA Europa League (wins v Nice and Lille, draw v Lyon). However, they have lost both away games they have played against French teams in Europe: 1-2 defeats to Marseille (March 1999) and Lens (March 2000), both in the UEFA Cup.
Lyon have won their last four home matches in the UEFA Europa League, and could win five consecutive home matches in major European competition for the first time since a seven-game streak between November 1998 and September 2000.
Celta Vigo are looking to reach just their fifth quarter-final in a major European competition (all in the UEFA Cup/Europa League), and first since the 2016-17 campaign under Eduardo Berizzo.
Along with scoring their equaliser, Endrick was directly involved in 11 of Lyon’s 20 shots in the first leg against Celta Vigo (7 shots, 4 chances created). The Brazilian (19y 234d) was the youngest Lyon player to score in a knockout stage game in major European competition since Houssem Aouar in February 2017 (18y 238d v AZ).
