After playing the 11th round of La Liga, Real Madrid ushered in the fourth round of the Champions League group stage with Lyon back-to-back.
However, this time it is Real Madrid who need to travel to France to challenge Lyon away.
Although this is Lyon's home stadium, Lyon has no resistance to Real Madrid when Lu Wenbin starts and plays the whole game.
Just 1 minute into the game, Lu Wenbin caught the whole Lyon team off guard with a sudden through through the defense.
Higuain successfully countered offside and fired a low shot into the far corner after receiving a through pass from Lu Wenbin on the big ban zone.
As soon as the game began, Real Madrid were 1-0 up.
In the 23rd minute, Lyon's attack was cut off, and Real Madrid played a quick counterattack.
This time it was Alonso's long pass to the front of the field, Ronaldo received the ball and cut inside and then inverted the triangle pass, Lu Wenbin shot a powerful long-range shot from outside the forbidden area to penetrate the Lyon goal.
Real Madrid lead 2-0 away.
In the 40th minute, Real Madrid's positional battle attacked, and Lu Wenbin performed a Lingbo micro-step dribbling for the audience at the scene and in front of the TV.
He kept using feints to dunk the ball and break through at the front of the big ban zone, plus the players who pounced back to continue defending after being shaken away, Lu Wenbin broke through the defense of seven people, shook two people down, and then scored with a low shot into the far corner from the corner of the small ban zone.
Lu Wenbin broke through Lyon's entire defense by himself, playing with all the Lyon defenders between applause, just as Ibrahimovic scored in the Eredivisie with seven men in a row.

Such a goal, even the enemy, has to be applauded.
After a 15-minute break, the two sides changed sides in the second half.

As a result, the counterattack did not succeed, and when it hit the front of Real Madrid's forbidden zone, it was stopped by a vicious tackle by Pepe.
Although Gourcuff, who was dribbling the ball, was brought to the ground by Pepe and rolled several times exaggeratedly, the referee did not say anything and signaled for the game to continue.
Because Pepe made a frontal tackle this time, tackled the ball first and then brought down Gourcuff, there was no intentional foul and injury.
Therefore, even if Gourcuff rolled exaggeratedly, the referee did not award Pepe a foul, but signaled for the game to continue.
Lyon was playing a counterattack, but he didn't expect that the ball suddenly changed hands, and before the people in the front court could retreat, Real Madrid broke the ball again and started Lyon's counterattack.
Pepe's tackle ball fell to the feet of Lu Wenbin, who returned to the defense, and Lu Wenbin did not hesitate at all, and directly half-turned and passed the ball to the back of the Lyon back line with a simple and fatal long pass.
Higuain, who stayed in the front field and did not return to the defense, suddenly started, successfully countered offside, and volleyed directly with a half-turn without stopping the ball on the line of the big forbidden area, and hit the ball into Lyon's goal.
Lu Wenbin assisted Higuain to score another goal, completing a brace in both goals and assists.
A few minutes later, Lu Wenbin was replaced by Kaka, after which neither Real Madrid nor Lyon scored again.
In the end, Real Madrid beat Lyon 4-0 away again, and Lu Wenbin scored a brace and an assist to completely dominate the game.
