Lyon deny date set for Champions League clash with Juventus despite Aulas claims

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has suffered the embarrassment of being contradicted by his own club after they admitted no date has been set for their Champions League second leg clash against Juventus.

Aulas had said the game would take place on August 7, with the round of 16 tie still uncompleted after the competition was postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

However, the club released a statement on Sunday saying that the date has not been set and they are still awaiting official word from UEFA as to when or if the Champions League will resume.
