Monaco Coach Leonardo Jardim told Juventus they have “the capability and intelligence” to win the quarter-final.

The first leg of this Champions League tie ended 1-0 in Turin with an Arturo Vidal penalty, so the decider is tomorrow evening at the Stade Louis II.

“It will be difficult, as is normal for a game at this level,” said Jardim in a Press conference. “The Champions League is totally different to Ligue 1.

“We have the capability and intelligence to play a great game, just as we did against Zenit.

Monaco Coach Leonardo Jardim told Juventus they have “the capability and intelligence” to win the quarter-final.

The first leg of this Champions League tie ended 1-0 in Turin with an Arturo Vidal penalty, so the decider is tomorrow evening at the Stade Louis II.

“It will be difficult, as is normal for a game at this level,” said Jardim in a Press conference. “The Champions League is totally different to Ligue 1.

“We have the capability and intelligence to play a great game, just as we did against Zenit.

“We mustn’t lose our heads, as Juventus are extremely experienced and if we are not mature about it, then we could run into a lot of problems.

“It’s down to certain players to make the difference tomorrow on the field. Motivation is also fundamental and the full stadium will push us on to give more.”

Asked about Carlos Tevez, Alvaro Morata and the possible change to 3-5-2, Jardim was confident.

“Juve have great players all over the team, not just in attack. There is no single area where they are weaker.

“We have prepared how to face any tactical situation Juventus throw at us.”

Jeremy Toulalan remains in doubt after missing the first leg.

"We'll evaluate tomorrow whether he can start the match. If not, then Fabinho is ready to step in."
