    Lions find away comfort
    Season 19

    Go Leo clinched a vital 2-3 away win in the first leg of their last 16 Champions League tie at Grays Athletic.

    Despite falling behind early in the 14th minute, the first goal they have conceded this season in the campaign, the Lions equalised soon after when Yvon Josipovic set up Caan Score to make it 1-1. The two sides remained level until halftime.

    Eleven minutes after the restart, man of the match Yvon Josipovic burst through the middle to slot home and give the visitors a 2-1 lead but their joy was shortlived. Just two minutes later, the home side equalized.

    Score found space in the 82nd minute and carved out an opening for Jimi George to rifle in the winning goal and a vital third away goal to ensure that Go Leo bring a huge advantage home for the second leg.

    The Lions have found comfort in the Champions League this season and they have a 100% record in the campaign. Go Leo currently lie fifth on goal difference in the league and look to have a struggle to maintain Champions League status next season.

    Go Leo in CL Quarterfinals, moves up to 3rd in the league
    Season 19

    Go Leo squeezed through to the quarterfinals for the Champions League despite a 1-2 home loss - their first defeat in the campaign this season, to Grays Athletic. The Lions progressed on the away goals rule with the tie locked at 4-4. With the match tied at 1-1, Grays Athletic scored in the 85th minute to make it 2-1 and another goal would have seen them through. However the home side hung on to book a place to the last eight.

    The Lions have seen a massive turnaround in fortunes in the league this season, which have seen them go eight matches unbeaten that has carried them up to third in what is proving to be a very tough league. They visit 12th placed SC Sternschanze today before hosting league leaders SFL Bomben tomorrow.

    GO Leo captured the Champions League title after a competent 2-0 win over Pups FC. This is only their second title in 19 seasons.

    In the league, the Lions squeezed thru tp qualify for the Champions League with a close fourth placed finish.

    Below is the season in review:-

    Mighty Lions powers ahead
    Season 20

    With five league wins and a draw, their best start in four seasons, Go Leo sit top of the table, two points ahead of their nearest rival.

    An expected exit in the cup, a competition which the Lions have never taken seriously, will probably serve them well this season. While in the Champions League they are joint top, and still unbeaten.

    After capturing the Champions League title last season, Go Leo have made it a goal to reach another final and hopefully retain the trophy.

    The men in green have brought in five new players this season to strengthen key departments - a striker, two midfielders, a defender and a goalkeeper.

    Austrian striker, Osman Mehlem, has so far been prolific for them this season, keeping last season's top striker Wael Ben Younes on the bench. However, new French goalkeeper Anthony Wargnier, has put in some questionable performances lately and has been relegated to the bench in favor of regular goalkeeper Nicola Giulliani.

    To celebrate last season's Champions League win, Go Leo unveiled a new home kit to be used this season - an unorthodox design that is very much different from their recognized green and white hoops.

    Talking Tactics 4-3W-3
    Season 20

    This season, for the very first time, Go Leo will deploy 3 strikers in a prefered formation of 4-3W-3.

    It is not like Go Leo never played three strikers before, having used 4-2-1-3 effectively in a Cup match 2 seasons ago to successfully overturn a 3-0 first leg deficit, but this will be the first time they will be using this for the majority of their matches.

    Quite excited with how the season will unfold with this very attack heavy but light midfield formation.

    The weakest point of the squad is centre of midfield and an underperforming midfielder could undo all the good work.

    The academy strikers Mark Closeley & Caan Score, who have struggled to play alongside each other as a twin strikerforce, seem to thrive playing flanking a central striker, in this case, Osman Mehlem.

    As with most flat formations, I prefer to play mixed passing, with mixed focus. I've given up on the offside trap for the last 3 seasons now and will continue to play without.

    Tackling is set as hard as usual to ensure that the ball is won and passed out quickly.

    Legendary Lion Matias Madrid immortalized
    Season 20

    Go Leo today renamed their Lion's Way stadium to Matias Madrid Arena in honor of their legendary left attacking midfielder. The recently upgraded 260,000 capacity stadium will now be the landmark dedicated to their footballing icon.

    Lions lie in second
    Season 20

    Go Leo finished the first half of the season second in the league, a point behind leaders FC Dacii Liberi but with 7 points separating first and fifth, it is still anyone's to play for.

    The Lions were unfortunate to be dumped out of the Champions League - a title they won last season, at the group stage after finishing equal on points with Stroe 4, but lost out based on head-to-head record.

    Striker Osman Mehlem has 11 goals and four assists to his name after 18 competitive matches - equal to Mark Closeley but who has played two games more. Rejuvenated Caan Score has 6 goals and 5 assists to his name after 17 appearances while Yvon Josipovic lead the assists with 8.

    Go Leo will look to maintain their current league form ahead of their clash with the leaders in two days time.
