PSG star Lucas fires warning at Chelsea: We've matured

PSG star Lucas Moura has fired warning at Champions League opponents Chelsea.

The French giants lost 2-0 in west London after beating the Blues 3-1 at home in the Champions League last eight.

This time they managed just a 1-1 draw at home in the last 16, but £33m winger Moura insisted the team have grown up since then.

"Without a doubt it (the 2-0 loss) was a big frustration for us," the Brazilian said.

"No one expected that result. But our team is more mature now.

"With every game that goes by we become more of a family and that's important - it's essential for a group that wants to win the Champions League.

"Today, we have a team with the best players at the moment. In all areas there are players who can make a difference.

"We need to be more decisive and know how to hold onto a result.

"Our teams is perhaps too anxious to qualify for the semi-finals, as happened in the last two seasons, against Barcelona and Chelsea.

"We end up making mistakes, but that happens because it is a team that wasn't used to those situations.

"The team was formed only two years ago, so we need to adapt."
