MADRID (AP) Real Madrid coach Zinedine Zidane says his team must not let its guard down despite the injury to Paris Saint-Germain striker Neymar.

Zidane says ''in no way is it a relief that Neymar is not able to play'' in Tuesday's Champions League match.

Madrid leads 3-1 after the first leg.

Zidane says ''we feel sorry for Neymar, but PSG is a very strong team. The player who substitutes him will be good. I don't think it will be easier without Neymar.''
