Giorgio Chiellini prepared for Monaco response

Chiellini wary of Monaco response

Juventus defender Giorgio Chiellini has claimed that the job is far from done following the 1-0 victory over Monaco in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie.

Arturo Vidal's penalty handed the Bianconeri a vital advantage at the halfway stage of the tie, but Chiellini has urged his teammates to use the last-16 success against Borussia Dortmund as motivation for another impressive away performance ahead of the second leg at the Stade Louis II.

"We knew that we would have to face a difficult opponent," he told Sky Sport Italia. "We got our approach wrong in the first 20 minutes, when we had to suffer their quick counter-attacks.

"Then, we improved and the result was deserved. But Monaco are a tough team to play because, unlike Borussia, they don't make the play and just counter-attack quickly.

"But it will be the same game as in Dortmund. A 2-1 or 1-0 lead, it doesn't change anything. We're going up against an even tougher team."

Juventus have not reached the last four of the competition since 2003.
