On Saturday, Monaco secured their place in the Europa League with a convincing victory over Lille in round 37 of Ligue 1 Champions League Qualification.
The match was played at the Stade Louis II in Monaco and saw both teams put in a strong performance throughout. Monaco took the lead early on through a goal from Benjamin Mendy, but Lille fought back to level the scoreline before half-time.
In the second half, Monaco's attacking play paid off as they scored two goals in quick succession to secure a comfortable win for them. The first came from a header from Rony Lopes, while the second was a penalty awarded by referee Nicolas Gouezel after a foul on Mendy.
Monaco will now face either Slavia Prague or Krasnodar in the next stage of the competition, with the winner progressing to the group stages of the Europa League. The team has shown great resilience and determination so far this season, and with the addition of new signings like Mendy and Lopes, there is every chance that they can continue their winning ways in Europe.
Overall, it was a fantastic display of football from Monaco against Lille, and the team will be looking forward to their upcoming fixtures in the Europa League.
