Lyon ready for Barcelona after PSG scalp, say Genesio and Aulas

Lyon are confident of posing a threat to Barcelona in the Champions League after they ended Paris Saint-Germain's unbeaten run in Ligue 1 with a 2-1 win on Sunday.

Champions PSG had won 18 and drawn two of their opening 20 league games this season, but they came undone on Sunday despite taking the lead through Angel Di Maria's strike in the seventh minute.

Goals from Moussa Dembele and Nabil Fekir turned the match on its head, boosting the confidence of coach Bruno Genesio and president Jean-Michel Aulas before they take on Barcelona in the last 16 of the Champions League on February 19.
