Intro:

Monaco coach Leonardo Jardim previews their match against Champions League Group C's bottom club Benfica of Portugal.

Script:

SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Leonardo Jardim, Monaco coach:

"Playing in the Champions League is enough. It is really not important to look at who the opponent is. Benfica are one of the best teams in this group. It seems to me that they want to reach the knockout stages. Their current position at the bottom of the group does not reflect their qualities."

SOUNDBITE (Portuguese) Leonardo Jardim, Monaco coach:

"It is true that I expect a strong Benfica side. But at home we are again going to try what we did in our last two Champions League matches. We respect our opponent, who is a strong adversary. To go through we'll need to come out and attack."
