The AS Monaco victory over the Olympique de Marseille represents a moment of great satisfaction, amplified by the clarity of the score of 3-0. Although overall performance has not been impeccable, the team has demonstrated an ability to manage its weaknesses and maintain a consistency that has proven to be crucial to winning and regaining second place in the rankings. This triumph, beyond its sporting importance, raises questions about the perception of Ligue 1 abroad, suggesting that international spectators might have been surprised by the result between two teams supposedly among the best in the championship.
The first half has struggled to achieve the expected standards, reflecting a lack of clarity in the game strategies and some technical inaccuracy. Nevertheless, AS Monaco was able to take the lead in this hesitant game, thanks in particular to a goal illustrating the difficulties encountered by the Marseille defence. This performance allowed Monegasque supporters to find a redemption, allowing them to relativize criticisms of their own defence, which displayed an unexpected organization and seriousness. Custodian Philip Kรถhn, for his part, performed a life-saving performance, demonstrating a willingness to redeem himself and contributing to the magnitude of victory.
AS Monaco has distinguished itself as the only European team to have won all its home matches in 2025, a feat that raises the hope of an easy victory against Strasbourg. However, the experience of Monegasque fans teaches them the volatility of results, where the performance of a match does not guarantee the performance of the next. Despite this uncertainty, a new victory next weekend would bring the team closer to the ambitious goals of the Champions League, suggesting a promising future.
