Champions League: Lyon loses 2-0 to Rome
Police were stationed outside of Place Bellecour before the game

Lyon lost to Rome at home, in a match where they played miserably. Nothing seemed to work right for the team at home, where they are generally invincible and had already had an inspired 2-0 victory over giants Real Madrid early last fall.
The sports newspapers are talking about the end of an era: OL is almost sure to win its sixth consecutive league championship, but with key players in the midfield set to retire within one or two years, it may be a while before Lyon has enough firepower to hold its own past the quarterfinals of the Champions League, where the best teams throughout Europe play.
As good as they are, I (as a fan) couldn't help but feel the big gap in the quality of play between the Italian league and the French league.
There's a league match this weekend to boost morale with arch-rival Marseille. I'll be going to that on Sunday night, but believe me, it won't ease the fans' disappointment of Lyon's early exit from the Champions League.
