Reaction
Ludovic Giuly, former Monaco winger and current ambassador
We had to be drawn against someone! That's four times now that we've made it to the semi-finals of the Champions League and we're delighted to be here. We're in with a chance – over two legs, anything can happen. We might be a bit of an underdog, but we do have experience at European level. We're still a big team in Europe and I hope we can keep that going.

Pavel Nedvěd, former Juventus midfielder and current vice-president
We faced Monaco two years ago and I remember two very tough games – I'm sure it will be the same this year. I think they're even more dangerous now; they are young, strong and exuberant and they play good football. Juve have also changed, though – the team have more confidence now. I can see in the eyes of the players that they are determined to go all the way.
