Real Madrid's Brazilian superstar Kaka has admitted that his side are under pressure to try and reach the Champions League final this season, with the showpiece fixture being staged in their own Santiago Bernabeu home.

The Spanish giants need to turn around a one-goal deficit in the second leg of their last 16 tie with Lyon, with Kaka attempting to try and ease the pressure ahead of a vital night for the club.

He told UEFA.com: "For us the prospect of winning Real Madrid's tenth Champions Cup in the Santiago Bernabeu has to be a motivation, but not an obligation.

"If it becomes an obligation then it will make things more difficult for us.

"Winning 'La Decima' at the Bernabeu certainly is the fervent hope of our fans and my fellow players, because there are very few clubs who even get the opportunity to play the final in their own stadium.

"I have both won and lost a Champions League final - it's only when you lose one and realise that you'll have to do it all again next season that you truly get an understanding of how difficult it is to lift this trophy."
