Monaco vs Juventus pits the most potent forward line from France’s Ligue 1 against the tightest backline not only in Italy’s Serie A, but also this year’s Champions League.
Starting with Wednesday night’s hosts, Monaco have been in free scoring mood throughout the 2016/17 season.
The principality outfit hit the 150 goal-mark in all competitions after Saturday’s 3-1 league victory over Toulouse.
In 1997/98, the Old Lady overcame the Red and Whites 6-4 on aggregate: Alessandro Del Piero scored a hat-trick before Zinedine Zidane added gloss late on in a 4-1 thrashing in Turin that put Juve in pole position to qualify for the final.
Marcello Lippi’s side would finish the job in Montecarlo, despite a 3-2 second-leg loss featuring goals from Del Piero and Nicola Amoruso.
Only two seasons ago, Arturo Vidal’s penalty in the home first leg proved the difference in a 1-0 aggregate victory for Massimiliano Allegri’s men in the 2015 quarter-finals en route to the showpiece event in Berlin.

Then, there have been the games where Juve’s patience and confidence to get a result ultimately told, such as the spirited comeback victory away to Sevilla (3-1) and the ‘late show’ from Marko Pjaca and Dani Alves, both second-half substitutes against Porto.
Make no mistake, it’s been a team effort to get this far and Allegri’s charges have shown they have what it takes to go all the way on the three fronts they’ve been competing on since Day One.
