If he had made the show during the visit of Real Auxerre in September 2010 (1-0 victory for Madrid) stating that he was "delighted to come to Guy Roux" at the Abbe-Deschamps, Jose Mourinho had not done so at the Santiago Bernabeu and a half months later. Thanks to a hat-trick and a goal from Benzema Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid had fun in currying AJA (4-0). The Portuguese coach was even used the meeting to launch some young players from the Spanish training center (Adan, Mateos, Morata, Sarabia).

And Lyon suffered his first defeat at home for three years in the group stage of the Champions League.

But the Merengue were simply unplayable. "The logic of the balance of power was respected", can also see that Remi Garde. Real queue round. Lyon, he is cornered. Groggy, he still stuck against Ajax (0-0). You need a "feat" of Bafétimbi Gomis, author of a quadrupled in Dinamo Zagreb (1-7), in extremis to integrate the Top 16 for the ninth consecutive year.
