Lyon boss Claude Puel said: “Things finally turned in our favour. Hugo [Lloris] was the saviour at the end. Either team could have won, right until the end. The game was tough. We had the first-leg scoreline in our heads and didn't play freely.

“Congratulations to the players, it was not easy. We dropped back in the first half but were better in the second. It was very tight. Lloris was decisive, he saved us in the last minute.”

Bordeaux manager Laurent Blanc added: “One goal tonight could have been good enough for us. We must take lots of pride from tonight; what we produced in the second leg was good.”

It was a tight, hard-fought contest in the battle of the French clubs and Lyon will feel great about getting through, but another tough task awaits in Bayern. Still, Lyon have had a solid European campaign and could just keep going.
