It's the match, which is probably the most interesting in the round of the last 16 teams of the traditional French Cup: The AS Monaco with his coach Guy Lacombe will play against Olympique Lyonnais on Sunday evening. It's one of the rares duels between two teams of the Ligue 1, where they are on the sixth and on the fifth position.

On the last matchday of the national championship on Wednesday, both clubs made a victory. The Monacans won 1:0 in the capital against Paris SG and the Lyonnais reached three points with the 3:1 at Lorient. That's why the two teams are nearly the top places of the ranking.

The French Cup is not the same thing. Nenê, the best striker of the Ligue 1 in the moment, wants to be successful with his teammates of the AS Monaco. He says about the adversary: "They have the experience and the titles of the last seasons. It's normal, but i think that we are on the way to minimize the deficits. We have to continue every week."
