With the top two teams from each of the six groups and the four best third-place finishers advancing to the knockout round of 16, both Toronto and Montreal need points
Asked where his team stands given each club in the group has played one game, Henry was brutally honest.
Given the fierce rivalry between the two clubs, Henry suggested playing at a neutral site won’t dial down the occasion.“At the end of the day it is a rivalry, whether you play it in your garden or Stade Saputo or another stadium,” he said. “That’s the one you don’t want to lose. So for me, I don’t even have to motivate the players because they already know what time it is. And I’m sure it’s the same for Toronto.
“I said at the end of the game that we have always been fighting. We didn’t have that on the day ... it can happen. I hope it won’t happen again. But I have been in teams, for example, where we had that some games, we were missing that. I was just stating a fact — on the day.”The game was originally slated for Wednesday but was pushed back a day when Toronto’s match with D.C. United was delayed 24 hours due to COVID-19 test issues.
