Histoire complète :
Monaco faced Arsenal in their final group stage match of the Champions League at the Emirates Stadium in London. The match ended in a frustrating 3-0 defeat for Monaco, but it is not a fatal blow to their hopes of progressing in the competition. Despite the loss, Monaco still has a chance to qualify for the knockout stages, although it now seems like a distant dream.
The AS Monaco team was supported by nearly 1,400 fans who made the trip to London. With 10 points before the match, Monaco knew that the result would have a significant impact on their European campaign. Arsenal, who have been undefeated this season, were not in a mood to give Monaco any favors.
The first half of the match was balanced, with both teams seeking to exploit each other’s mistakes. Monaco’s goalkeeper, Radoslaw Majecki, made some excellent saves to keep Arsenal at bay. However, Arsenal managed to take the lead in the 34th minute with a goal from Bukayo Saka.
In the second half, Monaco made some tactical changes to try and equalize, but their efforts did not pay off. They had several chances to score, but they lacked sharpness in front of the goal. Arsenal capitalized on Monaco’s mistakes and scored two more goals in the 78th and 88th minutes.
Despite the defeat, Monaco’s coach, Adi Hütter, remained optimistic. He acknowledged Arsenal’s superiority in the match but praised the performance of some of Monaco’s young players. Hütter believes that this match will be a valuable learning experience for his team.
While the loss was disappointing, Monaco is still in contention for qualification in the Champions League. Their focus now shifts to upcoming matches in Ligue 1 before they resume their European campaign with the knockout stages. The team will need to learn from their mistakes and bounce back in the remaining matches.
