But the Italian defender believes that in their match against the Juventus he can make the difference for them.

Raggi said: "He is a true phenomenon,"

"When you face him in training you have to cross yourself and hope that something goes wrong and stops him. In one-on-ones he is very fast and has great technique. He is a serene boy.

Two years back the Juventus side eliminated the Monaco side from the Champions league quarter final and the Defender says this is the time for them to take the revenge.

He added: "Juve are at the top level and even stronger than they were two years ago. Having said that, so are we, and this is our chance for revenge.

“We never did got over the 2015 elimination and this is the right chance to make up for it, with interest, seeing as there’s a place in the final at stake. 

“Two years ago, in Turin they were happy to draw Monaco, but I think now they’ll be slightly less pleased. We scare everyone now.”
