Lyon boss Remi Garde has urged his players to "bounce back" from their 2-1 defeat against Lens in the Coupe de France.
Garde's men face Ligue 1's bottom side Ajaccio on Sunday, and he insists that failure to win is not an option.
"This match [on Sunday] will be crucial for our race towards the top of the table. Everyone knows that," Garde told BT Sport. "We have to have self-esteem, bounce back. We cannot fail twice."
Lyon are sixth in the league table.
