Monaco clinched their second consecutive Ligue 1 runner-up spot with a 2-0 victory over Lens on Saturday evening. The win was the fourth in five games for Monaco, who were looking to bounce back from a disappointing Champions League exit at the hands of Barcelona.
The game started off well for Monaco as they took control of the match early on. They created numerous chances and were unlucky not to score in the first half. However, it was Lens who finally broke the deadlock in the 55th minute through a well-taken goal from Yann M'Vila.
Despite the loss, Monaco remain one of the most exciting teams in Europe and will be hoping to secure a place in next season's Champions League. With a strong squad and a new manager in charge, there is plenty of potential for them to push on this season.
Monaco's victory over Lens means that they have now qualified for the Europa Conference League, where they will face another tough opponent in the form of Slavia Prague. The team will need to focus on their defensive stability if they want to progress in the competition.
Overall, Monaco's performance against Lens was a testament to their resilience and determination. They showed that they can compete with some of the top teams in Europe and will be looking forward to facing Slavia Prague in the Europa Conference League.
