Ocampos urges Sevilla to be positive after Lens draw: They're all tough games

Sevilla attacker Lucas Ocampos says they'll be stronger for this week's Champions League draw with Lens.

Ocampos gave Sevilla the lead before Lens fought back for the point.

The Argentine later said: "At home and being the first Champions League game, we wanted to win. We were superior, we had the chances but we couldn't get the three points. I hope we can win the next one.

"I saw the team very well, we had the ball, we pressed, we were able to score, we lacked precision in the last few metres and we have to keep working.

"I don't know if it takes away confidence or not, but we saw it very possible to win the game in the first half. We had a great first half and in the second we couldn't make it happen. This is very long and it's just beginning."

The Argentine will not look beyond the next game.

"I'm not rushing. These games are difficult, that's why this team is in the Champions League and today they play this competition. We have a great game later against PSV and then Arsenal."
