Goals from Florian Thauvin and Clinton Njie in last week's first leg at the Vélodrome put the Ligue 1 outfit within sight of their first European final since 2004.

But Garcia warned: "We have to remain humble. Nothing's done yet. If we can take everyone to the final, that would be brilliant but we are not there yet."

Salzburg will fancy their chances following their feats against Lazio in the quarter-finals.

Trailing 4-2 after the first leg in Rome, the won the second leg 4-1 to advance 6-5 on aggregate.

"Against Lazio a lot of people thought we were dead and buried but we knew how to turn things around," said Salzburg midfielder Valon Berisha.

The winner of the clash will play either Atletico Madrid or Arsenal in Lyon on 16 May.
