Real Madrid coach Manuel Pellegrini says the Santiago Bernabeu crowd will be a factor in tonight's Champions League clash with Lyon.

Lyon are in Madrid defending a 1-0 lead from the first-leg.

Pellegrini said: "We need the public like they were on Saturday (against Sevilla) because we have a very difficult match.

"The support of the crowd is fundamental. I hope the fans and the team can come together to get the right result. "
