It's over for AS Monaco. After being defeated during their first leg of the Champions League last week against Benfica (0-1), Adi Hütter's men were hung on the return (3-3) on Tuesday evening in the Portuguese capital. A draw synonymous with the end of the journey on the European scene for the Monegasques.
Despite the proposed show, Maghnes Akliouche and his teammates can feed regrets. Indeed, during this return round, they obtained a multitude of opportunities without managing to find the fault. In addition, they have shown defensive errors, as has been the case since the start of the season, which they paid dear.
Latour: “They have a Champions League attack with a DH defense”
After the meeting, Bertrand Latour was not tender with the defenders of ASM. Renowned for his rants and his clear opinions, the Canal+ consultant released a shock sentence to summarize the performance of the Monegasques in Lisbon.
“They have a Champions League attack with a defense of DH (Honorary Division)”he said.
An opinion shared by Daniel Riolo, who draws up the same observation as his colleague. “” Monaco puts 3 goals outside, which is a priori a good perf. But when you are so defensively, it becomes unacceptable ”coldly analyzed the editorialist on RMC. Now eliminated from the Champions League and the French Cup, Monaco will be able to fully focus on the championship and try to validate its place for the next C1 campaign.
