Anthony Réveillère (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃.tɔ.ni ʁe.vɛ.jɛʁ]; born 10 November 1979) is a retired French footballer who played as a right back.
He spent most of his professional career with Rennes and Lyon, amassing Ligue 1 totals of 426 games and five goals over the course of 16 seasons and winning 12 major titles with the latter, including five national championships.
Réveillère played 20 times with France, representing the nation at the 2010 World Cup and Euro 2012.
Born in Doué-la-Fontaine, Maine-et-Loire, Réveillère finished his formation with Stade Rennais FC, making his Ligue 1 debut with the club on 3 February 1998 in a 0–0 away draw against SC Bastia. He spent six years with the team always in the top division, and was also loaned to Valencia CF in La Liga in January 2003.
In the 2003 summer Réveillère joined Olympique Lyonnais, scoring one goal in 31 games in his first season to win the first of his consecutive five championships with the side. Safe for the 2008–09 campaign, where he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury and could only feature in 19 league contests, he was always first-choice for L'OL.
Réveillère played in 77 UEFA Champions League matches during his tenure with Lyon (two goals), being present when his team ousted Real Madrid in the 2009–10 edition.
