Lyon - Fenerbahce

On 26 August 2026, Lyon host Fenerbahce at Groupama Stadium for the decisive second leg of their Champions League qualification final. With the aggregate score locked at 1-1 following the first leg on 18 August 2026, both sides arrive in France knowing that a victory will secure their place in the group stage. The two clubs previously met in the Europa League on 23 January 2025, where they played out a goalless draw, highlighting how closely matched these sides have been in recent encounters.

Lyon head into this fixture with momentum after a 2-0 victory over Toulouse in Ligue 1, following their earlier success in overturning a first-leg deficit against Sparta Prague. Fenerbahce also enter the contest off the back of a high-scoring 4-2 win against Konyaspor in the Super Lig. With the tie finely poised, the visitors will look to replicate their resilient defensive display from the opening leg to navigate this high-stakes atmosphere.
