Posted Friday, December 16, 2011 by YAHOO Sport
Lyon chairman Jean-Michel Aulas has urged caution after the Ligue 1 club were handed a seemingly favorable Champions League last 16 draw against APOEL Nicosia.
"We are probably favorites and it is not a problem for us," Aulas told reporters. "But we must not be overconfident.
"We must be wary. Sometimes, Santa Claus can be bad."
The reigning Cypriot champions topped a group featuring Zenit St. Petersburg, Porto and Shakhtar Donetsk to progress to the knockout stage and Aulas insisted it was important that Lyon did not become overconfident.
Aulas emphasized the importance of the first leg, which will be played at the Stade Gerland in Lyon, as the French side seek to establish an advantage ahead of the reverse fixture in Cyprus.
