PLAYER RATINGS | Monaco 0-1 Lille: Bruno Genesioâs side climb onto podium; ASMâs European hopes fade
Ligue 1 McDonaldâs, Round 33, 10/05/26
Lille OSC edged AS Monaco in a cagey, low-quality game to climb onto the Ligue 1 podium at the expense of Olympique Lyonnais (0-1).
Lille were the form side coming in, and they played like it. Unbeaten in 12 in Ligue 1, they needed to extend that run to keep in touch with Lyon â or as it would transpire, surpass them â going into the final matchday of the season. Monaco needed a result too, even if the chances of a top-four finish were slim.
It was LOSC who had the hosts under the cosh with their pressing. No clear opportunities were presented, despite Aladji Bambaâs inability to deal with the press. He offered openings that were not seized upon. There was almost a clear one to speak of when ClĂ©ment Turpin pointed to the spot. He thought that Jordan Teze had brought down Matias Fernandez-Pardo in the box. Replays showed he did not. The decision was overturned.
Despite LOSCâs domination inside the first half hour, Monaco had the first clear sight of goal, but couldnât get his effort on target following a link-up with Jordan Teze down the right. The first half was one of tepid counter-punches and, in that vein, Lille responded. Fernandez-Pardo couldnât turn home âs teasing ball across goal; he should have at least got a touch⊠any would likely have been enough.
The final score was Monaco 0, Lille 1.
Lille's victory allowed them to climb onto the Ligue 1 podium.
This loss significantly diminishes AS Monaco's chances of qualifying for European competition.
The coach of Lille OSC is Bruno Genesio.

A point didnât suit either team, but neither side did a lot to ensure taking all three. LOSC were the more likely upon the return from the dressing room. Thomas Meunierâs venomous half-volley would have troubled Hradecky if it had been placed either side of the Finnish goalkeeper. Placement was an issue again moments later, a ball put across the face of goal, but slightly behind Fernandez-Pardo, allowing Wout Faes to make an important clearance.
If LOSC were knocking on the door, it was only very timidly, but it didnât matter. Lamine Camara, heavily linked with a move away from Monaco, handed Genesioâs side a gift, misplacing his pass, playing in Gaetan Perrin, who played it across for Meunier. It wouldnât reach him. Scrambling to recover, captain Denis Zakaria put it into his own net.
The Principality club found themselves in a familiar position, needing to react. They wouldnât muster one. Between conceding in the 72nd minute and the end of regulation time, Les MonĂ©gasquesdid not take a single shot. A logical and damaging defeat for the hosts. LOSC are on the podium.

His loan spell from Sunderland has been mixed. There have been moments of inspiration, but there werenât any tonight. He looked completely out of sync with his teammates and incapable of keeping hold of the ball. He was part of the first round of substitutions, unsurprisingly.
Lamine Camara â 3
A strong performance was ruined by a game-changing error. His back pass, meant for Kehrer, was misplaced and handed LOSC an advantage that they would not squander. It is rumoured that this may have been his final performance at the Stade Louis II. It isnât the note he would have wanted to end on.

The Belgian was excellent in defence and in attack. Monaco struggled to follow his movement throughout as he picked out positions in the midfield and used possession effectively, notably setting up Bouaddi for his first-half chance.

Yellow-carded in the first half, Genesio opted to replace him with the returning Nabil Bentaleb (6) at half-time.

The Iceland international set the tone with his pressing. He took up good positions between the lines and should have had an assist for his delightful ball across for Fernandez-Pardo.
