Zidane: I've nothing to prove
Real Madrid's La Liga form has been indifferent this season but boss Zinedine Zidane insists he isn't feeling the pressure ahead of tonight's key clash with PSG - despite mounting speculation about his Bernabeu future.
“I have nothing to prove – I don’t care what people say about me - I just want to play the game,” Zidane said this week.
“There’s no pressure in particular, I don’t think about my future. I only think about the game.”
Steven Gerrard has just been recalling Liverpool's 4-0 win over Real Madrid in 2009 - the last time the Reds reached the last 16.
"I remember it. I got a couple of goals in the game. We were terrific on the night," Gerrard told BT Sport.
"It was a wonderful team performance. At that time, the Champions League was at Anfield frequently.
"The current team needs to get top four regularly and keep providing nights like that for the supporters."
