Monaco beat Arsenal in the Champions League last-16

The principality club travel to Turin for tomorrow’s first leg of their quarter-final clash after beating Arsenal in the previous round.

Arsenal beat Monaco 2-0 away but only after a crushing 3-1 defeat at the Emirates in which the Ligue 1 club played on the counter attack.

And Raggi revealed his side will attempt the same scalp against Italian champions Juventus tomorrow.

“We can play like we did against Arsenal,” Raggi said.

“We played with calmness and concentration and that’s what allowed us to overcome the challenge posed by Arsenal.

“I think tomorrow will be a difficult game for us, but Monaco are ready to face Juve and I think we’ll play a great match.

“To play in the Quarter Finals of the Champions League offers great satisfaction, doubly so against an Italian team.

“I’m happy to play here, in my country. As I’ve said before, I don’ have any desire for ‘revenge’ against Italy, not at all.

“It’s definitely a pleasure to meet Juventus in the Quarter Finals which I think is an important milestone.

“Tomorrow Monaco will play to win this game, and to put in a great performance.
