Only pride is realistically at stake for Monaco as they face favourites Juventus and a three-goal deficit in their European Champions Cup semi-final second leg tonight.
"We must admit that a 4-1 defeat leaves very little room for dreams but at least we must try to leave the competition with a victory," said defender Philippe Christanval, in for the injured veteran Franck Dumas.
Monaco's defence which leaked so many goals in Turin two weeks ago, will be missing the injured Martin Djetou but Muhamed Konjic should be fit.
Scotland midfielder John Collins is back from suspension. "We always played very well at home in the previous rounds and we scored a lot of goals, especially against Leverkusen and Sporting Lisbon," he said.
"We must try to win 3-0 and qualify, everything else would be disappointing," added defender Willy Sagnol.
Juventus coach Marcello Lippi has to do without the suspended French international Didier Deschamps and injured central defender Paolo Montero. Goalkeeper Angelo Peruzzi returns after an ankle injury.
