This \u003cstrong\u003ematch issued\u003c\/strong\u003e (prepared for the match) jersey was assigned to the emblematic midfielder and Cypriot captain \u003cstrong\u003eMarinos Satsias\u003c\/strong\u003e during the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 between \u003cstrong\u003eOlympique Lyonnais\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eAPOEL Nicosia\u003c\/strong\u003e, on February 14, 2012, at the Gerland stadium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMatch Context: The Cypriot Lock and Lacazette's Flash of Brilliance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor this first leg of the Round of 16, Rémi Garde's OL were clear favorites against the competition's surprise package, APOEL Nicosia, the first Cypriot club in history to reach this level. But from kick-off, Lyon came up against an ultra-disciplined, united, and perfectly organized defensive block, determined to hold their ground and counter-attack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDominant but for a long time lacking inspiration against the Cypriot wall, \"Les Gones\" finally found the breakthrough in the 58th minute. Ideally served by a powerful pass from captain Cris, young Alexandre Lacazette cut inside and unleashed a deflected shot that lobbed goalkeeper Chiotis. Despite several other attempts, Lyon failed to extend their lead and won by the narrowest of margins (\u003cstrong\u003e1-0\u003c\/strong\u003e). A valuable but tricky result before a historic return match in Nicosia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMarinos Satsias: The Soul and Captain of APOEL\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA true living legend of the club, \u003cstrong\u003eMarinos Satsias\u003c\/strong\u003e spent his entire professional career in the yellow and blue jersey of APOEL Nicosia, where he was the emblematic captain and the guarantor of the club's fighting values.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor this crucial trip to Gerland, the experienced defensive midfielder was placed on the substitutes' bench by Ivan Jovanović.
