Lyon are a technical team with elements of great acceleration and physicality. They are a dangerous team so we have to put in a great performance. Cristiano Ronaldo is a player who is appreciated all over the world. His stats say enough about the state of his form. He is an enthralling player, and is well both from a physical and mental point of view. In Italy we have an obligation and responsibility to win. In Europe we are amongst ten other teams with this goal.

Juventus play the same way that Napoli and Empoli did under Sarri. He is a tactically astute coach: no doubt about it. We all thought Liverpool and Paris would win [in last week’s first legs]. Now it’s our turn to take our chance, and show our best form. We’ll need to do that to do well in the first leg against Juve. And let’s hope they do not play to 100% of their potential. If we just defend, we won’t win the game. If we are to do prosper, we’ll need our fans’ support to find more energy and to be on our top form.

Rudi Garcia, Lyon coach
