Full Story:
AS Monaco suffered a defeat at home against Genoa CFC in a pre-season match at the Performance Center. Despite the loss, the match provided valuable insights for the team before their final test against FC Barcelona. Coach Adi Hütter maintained his 3-4-1-2 formation, giving Lamine Camara his first start. Monaco started strong with multiple chances in the early minutes, but it was Genoa who scored first. Monaco had their opportunities to equalize, but the shots hit the crossbar and the post. In the second half, Monaco continued their efforts, but a goal from Genoa and tactical adjustments by Hütter did not yield immediate results. Monaco managed to score a late goal through George Ilenikhena, but it wasn’t enough to change the outcome. Despite the defeat, the match allowed Hütter to fine-tune his team and integrate new signings. Monaco’s final pre-season match will be against FC Barcelona before they kick off their Ligue 1 campaign against Saint-Étienne at the Stade Louis-II.
