Olympique Lyon faced a disappointing exit from the Europa League as they lost 0-2 at home to Celta Vigo in the return leg of the round of 16. This result meant that Lyon could not overturn the 1-1 draw from the first leg, leading to their elimination from the tournament. The game was marked by a lack of effective offense from Lyon, despite their hopes of advancing further in European competition. Pavel Šulc, just returning from injury, made his first appearance of the match in the late stages but was unable to influence the outcome of the game significantly.

In the match, Celta Vigo took the lead in the 61st minute through Rueda and sealed their victory with a stoppage-time goal from Jutglá. Lyon struggled offensively and faced two red cards during the match, which further weakened their chances of coming back. The defeat is a significant disappointment for Lyon, who were aiming to make a deeper run in the Europa League after drawing their first match.

This elimination not only raises questions about Lyon's performance in European competitions but also about their squad depth and handling of injuries. With the return of players like Šulc, it is crucial for Lyon to regroup and focus on upcoming domestic competitions, as they will seek to recover from this setback and strengthen their position in future matches.
