Remi Garde: 'Nerves not a concern for Lyon'

Garde: 'Nerves not a concern for Lyon'

Remi Garde has said that he does not expect nerves to be a problem for Lyon as they look to secure a place in next season's Champions League.

The team sit third in the Ligue 1 table, but need a win against Rennes to ensure that St Etienne do not climb above them on the final day of the season.

The club's manager told olweb.fr: "There is maybe a risk of playing in fear, but I will do everything in my team talk to make sure that it does not happen.

"At a very high level, there is always pressure and nerves. But once the game starts, that stress disappears. The group has worked well throughout the week. It's a very, very important game."

Lyon are already guaranteed a place in the Europa League.
