Cristiano Ronaldo confident in Juventus turnaround over Lyon Champions League Lost 1-0 in France

Despite suffering a 1-0 setback in the first leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie against Lyon, Cristiano Ronaldo is full of confidence that his Juventus side will put things right in Turin on March 17.

Lucas Tousart scored the only game at the Groupama Stadium to give the Ligue 1 side a narrow advantage, but the Portuguese forward has faith in his team.

"What took place in Lyon can happen, that's football, we're not happy with our performance," he told Sky Sport Italia.

"In the Champions League it can happen as it's always difficult, but we have the return leg, and we are confident that we will reverse the result and progress.

"The Champions League is the toughest competition, all the teams are tough and there are no easy games.

"But we will play at home, I hope with our fans," he said, amid coronavirus fears causing several matches in Italy to be played behind closed doors.

"I am very convinced that we will pass [to the quarter-finals]."
