Patrice Evra admits Juventus are favourites against Monaco, but says he’ll ‘play like I were in the smaller team’.
The Bianconeri face the side from the principality in the Quarter Finals of the Champions League this month, and as an ex-Monaco defender, Evra says the Old Lady need to harness the underdog spirit.
“If Monaco have reached this stage then they’re here for a reason,” the Frenchman told Sky.
Patrice Evra admits Juventus are favourites against Monaco, but says he’ll ‘play like I were in the smaller team’.
The Bianconeri face the side from the principality in the Quarter Finals of the Champions League this month, and as an ex-Monaco defender, Evra says the Old Lady need to harness the underdog spirit.
“If Monaco have reached this stage then they’re here for a reason,” the Frenchman told Sky.
“Facing them is like playing Bayern Munich or Barcelona. As far as history goes, we start as favourites, but we have to start at 0-0.
“It will be very difficult, I put myself in their shoes, when I was there we played against Real Madrid and Chelsea.
“With Real we went through after losing 4-2 in the first leg, winning 3-2 [in the second].
“I’ll play as if I were in the smaller team, sacrificing more, giving everything.”
