Thomas Tuchel said his Paris Saint-Germain side produced their best display of the season as they defeated Lille 2-1 to set a European record.
Kylian Mbappe and Neymar were on target in the Ligue 1 clash at the Parc des Princes on Friday night as the Parisiens surpassed Tottenham's 58-year record by sealing their 12th consecutive win since the beginning of the season.
No other team in Europe's top-five leagues has managed that feat, while it now leaves PSG 11 points clear of second-placed Lille and firmly on course to defend their title.
It was a wonderful performance. There was a lot of structure, possession of the ball, we closed the spaces.
Thomas Tuchel
Tuchel is hoping his players can take the confidence from their record-breaking antics into Tuesday's trip to face Italian side Napoli in the Champions League.
"I think it was our best match this season," Tuchel told L'Equipe.
"It was necessary against this opponent and it will also be necessary on Tuesday night. Napoli have a different style and it will be a big challenge.
"The team is confident after this game. It was necessary to play with a lot of quality and we did.
"It was a wonderful performance. There was a lot of structure, possession of the ball, we closed the spaces. We were very serious, very disciplined and we have to congratulate my team."
PSG are 6/5 to record a win in Italy, while Napoli are priced at 15/8 and the draw is available at 14/5.
