Monaco director Andrea Butti admits that their tie with Juventus will prove ‘very difficult’ for the team from the principality.

The Bianconeri will play the Ligue 1 side in the Champions League Quarter Finals, with Monaco the worst team left in the draw by UEFA ranking.

“We knew that whoever we drew it would be a difficult match,” Butti told Sky after the draw.

“It’s a very difficult tie for us, they’re coming off a great game against Borussia [Dortmund]. It’s a challenge of the highest order, but we knew it would be in the Quarter Final.

“We’ve gotten past Arsenal, now we’ll do our best and give everything against the Bianconeri.

“We didn’t do calculations about possible opponents, as the seven remaining teams are all top-notch.

“We started the Champions League ranked 32nd, and we’ve faced teams far more experienced than us.

“We’re ready, and if we were to progress it would be another miracle, if not then it’s still been a remarkable Champions League campaign.”
