Previous meetings • Valencia defeated Lyon twice when the clubs met in the 2000/01 UEFA Champions League first group stage. Zlatko Zahovič hit the only goal at Mestalla and Héctor Cúper's Valencia won again three weeks later as Juan Sánchez and Rubén Baraja scored prior to Steve Marlet's late reply. • The lineups in Spain on 27 September 2000 were: Valencia: Cañizares, Angloma, Djukić, Pellegrino, Carboni, Mendieta, Milla (Zahovič 71), Baraja, González (Vicente 80), Sánchez, López (Carew 62).
