UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE / Olympique Lyon (OL) - Real Madrid

The European leagues have a super-league, a kind of World Series bringing together the best teams from the various leagues in France, the UK, Spain, Italy, and other countries in a competition known as the Champions League.

This year, Lyon's team has been grouped with Bucharest and Kiev .... and super-power Real Madrid. Big match in Lyon on the 13th September, in Lyon ... I have class on that day but if I can go I hope to see the two teams clash up close.

Last year, OL was also grouped with Real Madrid, and somehow they actually came in first in the group part of the tournament (which progresses like any round-robin tournament).
