He said: “We know it will not be easy. We will try to go back to basics and pressure our opponents.

“We must be stronger and get back to winning the individual duels. We must look at this match against Paris Saint-germain as a cup match.”

Monaco have been PSG’S closest rivals in recent years, winning the title in 2016-17 and finishing runners-up last season, but they have struggled to keep their top talent and the biggest reminder of that will come when PSG star Kylian Mbappe returns.

“Everyone talks about his dribbling, but I have always talked about his gameintell­igence, at his age. I have rarely seen that.”
