Monaco - Monaco realize that they are not seeded teams in the Champions League. Even so, they keep repeating dream glorious achievement in the year 2004.
In the 2003/2004 season, the final of the Champions League brings two underdogs, Porto and Monaco. Monaco, who was trained Didier Deschamps, finally had to acknowledge his superiority Jose Mourinho's Porto and were defeated 0-3.
After being relegated to the second division, Monaco back in the Champions League this season. Les Rouges et Blancs were in the last 16 and a 3-1 win over Arsenal in the first leg.
To qualify for the quarterfinals, Monaco just need to grab a draw in the second meeting will be held at the Stade Louis II, on Wednesday (03/18/2015) pm dawn. They even will still go despite losing by a single goal.
"We can show our best quality against the top teams," said Monaco midfielder, Joao Moutinho, in the London Evening Standard.
"Playing in the Ligue 1 is very tight, very aggressive. Some good team technically, but others rely on physical, defend and counterattack while. It's hard to find a room and you have to use different tactics to win," he added.
"Nothing that we sponsor in the Champions League, but we really played well. We deserve to be in the position we are now," said the Portuguese player.
Armed with a spirit that Monaco, Moutinho believes his side will be able to keep going and make surprises.
"I am fully confident with our team even though we are less experienced," he said.
"With the team spirit that we have, we can go further and why not repeat Monaco and Porto in 2004?" Moutinho said.(detikSport)
