Stuttgart´s Champions League dream was all but extinguished after they slipped to a toothless 2-0 defeat to Lyon at the Gottlieb-Daimler Stadium.
In a Group E match that pitted the Bundesliga title-holders against the reigning six-time Ligue 1 champions, it was the French outfit that took all the points thanks to second-half strikes by Fabio Santos and Karim Benzema.
Stuttgart´s third loss from as many Champions League outings this term leaves coach Armin Veh looking increasingly precarious at the helm.
