Juventus fullback Patrice Evra says they must not underestimate Champions League opponents AS Monaco.

Evra is a former ASM player.

"If Monaco have reached this stage then they're here for a reason," the Frenchman told Sky Italia.

"Facing them is like playing Bayern Munich or Barcelona. As far as history goes, we start as favourites, but we have to start at 0-0.

"It will be very difficult, I put myself in their shoes, when I was there we played against Real Madrid and Chelsea.

"With Real we went through after losing 4-2 in the first leg, winning 3-2 [in the second].

"I'll play as if I were in the smaller team, sacrificing more, giving everything."
