Ex-Aston Villa, West Ham mid Reo-Coker: Montreal Impact don't fear Club America

Nigel Reo-Coker insists the Montreal Impact are not living in fear of CONCACAF Champions League rivals Club America.

The MLS club held the Liga MX giants to a 1-1 draw in the first leg of the final at Estadio Azteca last week which spurned some questionable comments from America keeper Moises Munoz.

He said that his side were prepared to put five goals past the Impact in the second leg in Montreal on Wednesday night but captain Reo-Coker insists the Canadian outfit are going into the return bout with no alarm.

"We don't fear anything about them," said the former Aston Villa and West Ham United midfielder.

"[Muñoz] can say what he wants. We don't put too much into it. It's about what you do on the pitch."

The Impact are expecting a crowd of around 60,000 for the second leg at the Olympic Stadium as they look to make history by becoming the first Canadian club to win the CCL.
