Montreal Impact not taking battered Club America for granted - Klopas

Montreal Impact head coach Frank Klopas is not expecting an easy contest in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions League final this week.

The Canadian outfit meet Club America at the Estadio Azteca in Mexico City on Wednesday night and despite a 4-0 Liga MX defeat at the hands of Queretaro on the weekend, the home side will be at their best according to Klopas.

"Regardless of outcome of [Saturday's] game, they're going to be very motivated to play because it is a final," Klopas told reporters.

"I don't take too much away from the game from the other night. For me, some of the things I needed to see - because I've watched a lot of their games - I saw [on Saturday].

"But for sure, we have to expect a different team, a different mentality and approach on Wednesday."
