Now Lyon want Liverpool to do them a Favour

[Bender]

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has called on Liverpool to help his club on Matchday 6 of the UEFA Champions League despite the French club being integral to the Reds' elimination from the competition.

Lyon had already assured their place in the knockout stages of the Champions Leagueafter drawing and beating Rafa Benitez's side, but the Ligue 1 outfit have slipped to second in Group E after Tuesday's 1-0 defeat to Fiorentina.

Claude Puel's side must now beat bottom-placed Debrecen, and hope Benitez's charges overcome La Viola at Anfield, to guarantee top-spot in the group and secure a favourable draw in the last 16 stage.

And Aulas is hoping the Premier League giants look to finish their campaign on a high and beat the Italians at Merseyside.

"First place is important, notably because the second-leg match in the last 16 would be played at home," Aulas said.

"We have the match against Debrecen remaining and we hope that at the same time Liverpool can beat Fiorentina."

Defender Jean-Alain Boumsong echoed Aulas' view, and the former Newcastle and Rangers defender believes Benitez's side will want to sign off in style, despite their recent disappointment.

"We must win this last game and hope for a surge of pride from Liverpool," the French centre-back told www.olweb.fr.

To be fair I watched the Lyon game and they gave it a fair go at it .. it was all Lyon the last 15 minutes of the game and they were going for it

I'm pissed too but there's nothing we can do now except focusing on the league.

[Darkon]

How can anyone be surprised that Lyon wants us to win in the last match??

No sour grapes here - we only have ourselves to blame for the exit, certainly not Lyon...

I hope we batter Fiorentina and show the competion that even though we are out, with a bit of luck we could have gone very far.

I agree, I hope we give Fiorentina a proper hiding after the performance away in Florence.

This is an absolutely nothing game, and I wouldn't play a single first teamer. I hope we blood the youngsters.
