Juventus fullback Evra: Monaco return will be emotional

Juventus fullback Patrice Evra says he still has a soft spot for former club AS Monaco.

Juve are preparing to return to ASM for the second-leg of their Champions League tie.

Former Manchester United fullback Evra said: "I was really proud of Monaco when they beat Arsenal, because it seemed almost a madness they had no fear. I talked to some of the players and they told me that they feel stronger on the road, where the stadium and the environment is different.

"Monaco did a lot for me, it is like coming home.

"But when I play I have the desire to kill, in a good way, the opponent. This time I will be a bit emotional, but I will be focused."
