'We live for these moments'

Zinedine Zidane insists he is not letting the pressure get to him as he prepares his Real Madrid side for Wednesday's huge Champions League last-16 clash with Paris Saint-Germain at the Santiago Bernabeu.

"I'm very happy. We all live for these moments. I don't feel any particular pressure," a relaxed Zidane said at a press conference on Tuesday.

"We have prepared as we usually do. Certainly tomorrow [Wednesday] there will be a bit more pressure than usual, but I'm going to enjoy it. My future does not bother me much just now."

With Real fourth in La Liga, 17 points behind leaders Barcelona, there is speculation that the Frenchman's future as coach is on the line against a feared PSG side, with the two-time defending champions putting all their hopes in the Champions League going into the first leg of this tie.

"I am just trying to get on with my work. This is my passion," said Zidane, who has won eight trophies as Real coach. "I have nothing that I need to demonstrate."

Although much of the focus is on Neymar, Zidane is wary of the threats elsewhere in a PSG side also featuring the likes of Edinson Cavani and Kylian Mbappe.

"Of course Neymar is a great player who is on top of his game, but we are not only thinking about him."
