Lyon coach Rudi Garcia hailed his team for seeing off Juventus and the "extraterrestial" Cristiano Ronaldo to reach the Champions League quarter-finals on Friday.
Captain Memphis Depay's early penalty sealed Lyon's berth in the last-eight despite losing 2-1 on the night in Turin.
A goal up after winning February's first leg, Lyon will face Manchester City at the final tournament in Lisbon after drawing 2-2 on aggregate and going through on away goals.
"We came up against an opponent who has an extraterrestrial in its squad," said Garcia of five-time Ballon d'Or winner Ronaldo who scored both of Juve's goals on Friday.
