"The team of Lyon surprised the whole football world on Saturday when they defeated Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals and advanced to the tournament's semi-finals. After the victory, the coach of the French club, Rudi Garcia, praised his team's performance and stated that Lyon won the tactical battle against Pep Guardiola. "I am very proud of my players, they were true warriors on the field. We always believed in our abilities and that we could reach the semi-finals. Thanks to good team spirit and dedication, we only conceded one goal. Moussa Dembele was a bit disappointed before the match, but I always knew he could be a key factor. I am glad he scored his first two goals in the Champions League. From Pep, anything can be expected. We knew he would try to unbalance us, but we can say that we won the tactical battle. If we are properly prepared for the fight against Bayern, we can definitely achieve something," - spoke with "RMC Sport" R. Garcia.
