Pressure on big-spending Real

A staggering summer outlay of more than 250 million euros and home advantage for the final has seen Real Madrid put themselves under immense pressure to win the Champions League this season.

However, the record nine-time European champions first have to come from behind to eliminate French side Lyon who arrive for Wednesday's last 16 decider at the Santiago Bernabeu holding a 1-0 first-leg lead.

Real have been unstoppable in the league at home, winning all 13 games but in Europe their dominance has not been as overwhelming losing 3-2 to AC MIlan at home in this season's group stage while Liverpool and Juventus both won in Madrid last season.
