Sevilla made it through to the knock-out stage of the competition for the first time in six years after drawing 0-0 at Olympique Lyon in their last group game. The Andalusians could afford to lose by one goal and still qualify as runners-up behind Juventus, and Sampaoli put out a line-up without a recognised striker in the starting eleven. Sergio Rico was in action early on to keep out Valbuena, but soon afterwards Vitolo steered a shot against the upright in reply. Both teams had penalty claims turned down, and Tolisso and Valbuena hit the bar as the French side pushed forward before the break. After the restart though the game slowed down, and Rico made further saves from Lacazette and Gonalons to keep the scoreline unmoved to the end .
