Joao Moutinho claimed that his club Monaco are more than capable of beating Arsenal and going all the way to the Champions League final.
The French side beat the London club 3-1 at the Emirates Stadium late last month which means that the Gunners will need to score a minimum of three goals to harbour any chances of qualifying for the next round.
Monaco totally outplayed Arsenal in the first leg against all expectations and Moutinho insists that they can go all the way to the final, just like 2004 when they lost to Jose Mourinho's FC Porto in the final.
"We can show our best qualities against the top teams," he said.
"Play in Ligue 1 is very closed, very aggressive. Some teams are good technically, but others rely on the physical side, on defending and counter-attacks. It's hard to find space and you have to come up with different tactics to get the wins.
"No one believed in us in the Champions League and yet we have really played well. We deserve to be where we are.
"I have full confidence in our side, despite our lack of experience. With the team spirit we have we can go even further and why not a repeat of Monaco and Porto in 2004?"
