Monaco's Andrea Raggi accepts his side need a Champions League miracle against Juventus, but believes they can pull it off.
The French club go into tonight's semi-final second leg in Turin as massive underdogs to progress, having suffered a 2-0 home defeat to the Old Lady last week.
Speaking to L'Equipe, however, the Italian defender insists the complexion of the tie could change if Leonardo Jardim's team can score an early goal at Juventus Stadium.

The French club go into tonight's semi-final second leg in Turin as massive underdogs to progress, having suffered a 2-0 home defeat to the Old Lady last week.
Speaking to L'Equipe, however, the Italian defender insists the complexion of the tie could change if Leonardo Jardim's team can score an early goal at Juventus Stadium.
"If our midfielders and forwards are in form and we get an early goal, we can still do it," Raggi commented.
"Obviously we need a miracle and we know that. We are not crazy, but we have to believe we can do it."
The 32-year-old acknowledged it will not be easy against a 'muscular' Juve, whose defenders he believes gave Radamel Falcao some rough treatment in the first leg.
"Juventus are a muscular team. They are tough and ruthless they way they play.
"Did you see what Bonucci and Chiellini did to Falcao? They play hard and with experience."
