Monaco deputy technical director Andrea Butti has stated that his side are looking to achieve a miracle against Juventus.

Friday’s Champions League draw saw both sides drawn against one another in the quarter finals, and the former Inter team manager has said that the Ligue 1 outfit are aware of the quality the Bianconeri possess.

“We didn’t have any preferences [on who to face], because the other seven teams remaining are top notch,” he told Sky. “We were the last placed team in the competition in the group stage draw, and we faced many teams stronger than us.

“We are ready, if we go through then we would achieve yet another miracle; if we don’t, we know our journey has been remarkable.

“It is a game that will be very difficult for us, they’ve just beaten Borussia Dortmund who are also a top side.

“We’ve also progressed past Arsenal, and now we’ll give our all against Juve.”

The first leg is set to take place at the Juventus Stadium on April 14, with the return leg scheduled to be played eight days later at the Stade Louis II.
