The French boss guided Lyon into the semi finals of the competition for the first time since 2010 with a 3-1 win over Manchester City on Saturday.

“We weren’t favourites [to progress], but we believed in ourselves,” Garcia said at the Estadio Jose Alvalade.

Rudi Garcia said Lyon were growing in confidence heading into their Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich.

Lyon backed up their upset of Juventus by stunning Manchester City 3-1 in the quarter-finals on Saturday.

But the Ligue 1 side face another enormous test in the last four as they prepare to face Bayern on Wednesday.

Garcia said his team were becoming increasingly confident, but understands they will need another upset against the Bundesliga champions.

“I think that we are getting more and more confident. Our results prove it,” the Lyon coach told a news conference.
