Thomas Tuchel: 'Be at our best'

LYON AFTER MADRID

"We have to do the same thing as we did against Real, but it's never easy to follow on from such a game. I was convinced we were capable of doing a great performance against Madrid, but the ones before and after are very difficult. Playing against Real is tiring physically and mentally. So it was necessary to recover on Thursday and enjoy a day off. It's now the time to focus ourselves again. The match against Lyon will be difficult. We'll have to play well, to be at our best. I expect to see an in-form Lyon side. Playing us in front of their fans is a good chance for them to show they're capable of doing better than in their recent matches. So, it'll be a big challenge."

RIVALRY

"It's true it's a special game. We don't need to be ready now, we need to be ready on Sunday evening. We need a mix of smiles, work and intensity. There's competition between the two clubs, that's good, they're special matches. After Real, we have another Champions League game. Everyone wants to play and that will create a special atmosphere. Everyone knows it'll be a great game. I'm convinced that we can win, but I also know it'll be tough."

OPPORTUNITY

"There's nothing better than beating Real in that way, in that situation, after a team performance. But it's now in the past. We have started working again. That's the sport. We're confident, but the challenge is to keep proving yourself, again and again. It's normal for a club like Paris Saint-Germain. We're four points ahead of Lyon, and with the chance of having seven on Sunday. It's a great moment in the Ligue 1 season. We want to show our qualities. We gave a lot against Madrid, the challenge is to reproduce that. Playing together and giving everything will be absolutely necessary to win against Lyon."
