"Obviously the win has done us the world of good. It broke the negative run of results after three defeats in a row. The qualification is reassuring, even if it didn't come easily – it was even a little tough at times, but in matches like this, the main thing is to qualify. Our two strikers scored and that means full of confidence ahead of a tough trip to Lyon." How are you approaching the game against Lyon?
"I hope that we'll finally get a positive result against one of the big sides in the championship. We need a good result to climb the table and build the confidence further. We have big expectations heading into the game and I hope we'll be able to match those expectations."
Will a win set PSG up for a run at the European places?
"For sure. If we manage to get a result at Lyon, we'll be just four points behind them. From there, everything can change very quickly. If Lyon manage to put ten points between them and us, it will be tough to chase them. This type of match is very important. We can't mess it up if we want to finish in the top five. We can't reproduce the type of performance against Lille. It was a lesson for everyone. We'll give it everything to get all three points against Lyon." The best thing would be to reproduce the performance from the first game against Lyon this season...
"If we can play the same game and get all three points this time, that would be perfect. At the Parc des Princes, we played a great game without getting the reward. Les Lyonnais are in form. They've only lost once in 2010. They're playing Lorient in the League Cup and that might be a little tired. It's up to us to take full advantage and prepare as well as possible for the big game." Lyon don't seem invincible these days...
"Absolutely. The results show that – they're not ten points clear at the top. It's not the same Lyon. But they're still a very good team. They have some very good players, up front and in midfield. At the back, they appear a bit weaker than in previous seasons. We have to catch them out at the back, contain their attacking play and hit them on the counterattack."
