Carvalho says Real Madrid confident overcoming Lyon

Real Madrid go into their Champions League clash with Olympique Lyon full of confidence, says defender Ricardo Carvalho.

Carvalho is convinced of victory over the French giants.

"We know the importance of this event for the club and the players," the 32-year-old told UEFA.com. "We will try to score a goal and get a good result before the return game."

"We are confident because we are in a positive period, in particular at home. If we want to qualify, we can't be satisfied with only one good game at this stage of the competition."

"We have to do well [in Lyon] and be efficient during the return game,"
