AS Monaco is getting closer to the moment of truth in the Champions League. In the fight for a place in the play-offs, currently 19th in the group stage (out of 24 qualified), the Monegasques will have to pick up a few more points in their two remaining matches to ensure they are there. Which could be a huge feat this Tuesday, as they travel to Real Madrid.
Not in its best form in January, with a defeat in the final of the Spanish Super Cup against FC Barcelona (3-2) then an elimination in the eighth of the Copa del Rey against Albacete (3-2), Kylian Mbappé’s Real Madrid is still looking for its rhythm under the orders of its new coach Álvaro Arbeloa. But Monaco also remains on three defeats in the championship, including a slap in Lorient (1-3) last Friday.
Kick-off for the Real Madrid-Monaco match is scheduled for 9 p.m. this Tuesday, January 20. The meeting will be followed live with commentary on the Le Parisien website and on television on Canal + Sport.
