Real's yongsters mastered comeback against Lyon

Real Madrid drew 2-2 with Olympique Lyon at the Stade de Gerland. The French side took the lead in the 20th minute when Grenier's outstanding volley found the back of the net. Lisandro López then made it 2-0 before Ancelotti brought on Morata who pulled one back from the penalty spot in the 78th minute. Casemiro headed home Real's second of the game in the 84th minute following a mistake from Lopes in the Lyon goal.

Real Madrid's youngsters led the come-back when the Spaniards were 2-0 down and they avoided defeat on the night. Ancelotti brought on his youngest players in the second half when the game was all but lost, and they lifted their team. Morata scored from the spot and Casemiro equalised late on.

The only negative note on the night was an injury to midfielder Illarramendi on his debut in the starting XI. He went off with some discomfort in the 35th minute and was replaced with Casemiro.

Without Özil or Benzema, Real Madrid reacted after the break with the introduction of Modric and Khedira. Some outstanding play from the Croat which ended with a shot hitting the post marked Madrid's change in fortune. Gonalans fouled Cherysev inside the box and Morata fired home from the spot, before Di María floated in a ball from the corner and Casemiro headed home to equalise.
