Lyon win on away goals
Lyon survived a Cristiano Ronaldo-inspired comeback from Juventus to hang on and book a Champions League quarter-final against Manchester City.
Leading 1-0 from February's first leg, the French side were handed a soft early penalty which Memphis Depay converted in style.
That left Juve needing to score three times to progress and Ronaldo got one back from the penalty spot.
He then thundered in his 130th Champions League goal but Lyon held on.
Lyon boss Rudi Garcia, said: "We came up against an opponent who has an extraterrestrial in its squad," of five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo.
"This is the victory of a group. We wanted to be in the final eight in Lisbon, we are there.
"We'll still be outsiders and that suits us very well."
Juventus manager Maurizio Sarri may have guided his side to a ninth straight Serie A title but they were lethargic throughout and his position could be under threat.
Juve have not won the Champions League since 1996 and the wait goes on at least another year.
Uninspiring Old Lady
To question Sarri after one year in charge may seem harsh, but the reality is that in Turin - as in Paris and in Munich - winning the league is the minimum requirement.
Ending that now 25-year drought in the Champions League is the goal and were it not for Ronaldo, Juve offered next to nothing as an attacking force.
Six of Sarri's starting XI are in their 30s and they were painfully slow in approach at times, showing why they had only actually won two of their last eight games in Serie A.
Where there is the remarkable Ronaldo there is hope, and his second on the night was a superb, swerving left-footed shot from range that gave hope of another tilt at the business end of the competition.
But when Ronaldo headed a corner over the top, that hope was extinguished.
Ronaldo could yet win the trophy with a third team, joining Clarence Seedorf in an exclusive club, but time is running out for the 35-year-old. As it may be now for Sarri, too.
"I don't think directors of a top level will make a decision based on one match," Sarri said after the match.
"They are going to evaluate the whole season.
"I find this kind of question [about his future] offensive, but not towards me, it's offensive towards the directors. I have a contract, I'll respect it and I don't expect anything."
'They have an alien'
Lyon were only seventh in the French top flight when the season was cancelled in April and this was just their second game back.
They held Paris St-Germain to a 0-0 draw in the French League Cup final last Friday night - losing on penalties - and were equally resolute in Turin.
Referee Felix Zwayer helped them out with a gift of a penalty as Houssem Aouar went down after a drive into the area, with Rodrigo Bentancur clearly winning the ball.
Depay converted with a fine Panenka chip, and Lyon always looked likely to see the tie out even after Ronaldo's double.
Depay was harshly adjudged to have handled while blocking a free-kick in the wall to give Juve a way back in and it would have been easy to cave.
But Aouar, Bruno Guimaraes and Maxence Caqueret all excelled in midfield as Lyon booked a one-off tie against City in Lisbon next Saturday night.
"It is the victory of a group. We wanted to be in Lisbon. Here we are," said Lyon boss Rudi Garcia.
"I have been here a few times with Roma. Juventus are the best club in Italy, a team that wanted to win the Champions League and have an alien.
"We saw Ronaldo's magnificent second goal. Few people thought we could do it. We did it."
Man of the match - Houssem Aouar (Lyon)
Best run in a decade
- Lyon are the first French side to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League since Monaco in 2016-17, while this is the first time they have reached this stage of the competition since 2009-10.
- Juventus have failed to reach the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time since 2015-16 under Massimiliano Allegri.
- Despite progressing on away goals, Lyon are now winless in their last 11 away knockout matches in the Champions League (D2 L9).
- Juventus have played more Champions League home games against French sides without defeat (7) than against teams from any other nation.
- Lyon's Memphis Depay has become just the second Dutch player to score in six successive Champions League appearances after Ruud van Nistelrooy (twice).
- Juventus' Cristiano Ronaldo is just the third player to score a Champions League goal against a specific opponent with three different clubs, after Jorg Butt against Juventus and Ruud van Nistelrooy against Bayern Munich.
- Juventus forward Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 20 goals in his last 13 home Champions League knockout matches. In total, he has scored 67 goals in the knockout stages of the competition, 21 more than any other player (Messi, 46).

I also wish I was 35.
IMO a pen should only be given if it's a clear goalscoring opportunity. Cos too often the 'punishment' of a penalty is too severe for the 'crime' of the foul. Like getting life in jail for nicking a loaf of bread.
If it's not a clear goalscoring opportunity just give an indirect freekick.
Scored 37 goals this season, the most any Juventus player has scored in 95 years.

Did the missus make a comment about him that was undesirable for a middle aged man’s self esteem. Probably best for you lot didn’t get the hat trick and have the shirt come off. Put your beer guts to shame.😂😂
He has scored ONE (his 49th)
Can you imagine any player in the world,even Messi being on free kick duty after 48 straight misses ?
