Maghnes Akliouche is your MVP against Brest and in l'Équipe's team of the round

Maghnes Akliouche is your MVP against Brest and in l'Équipe's team of the round
Having scored twice against Stade Brestois, the French U-21 international was instrumental in the 3-2 victory, and was rewarded with the title of MVP and a presence in the team of the matchday.

“He played a fantastic game.” These are the words of Adi Hütter in a press conference after the match, impressed by the performance of Maghnes Akliouche, in what was a precious Monégasque win against Brest at the Stade Louis-II (3-2), one which bore the mark of the French U-21 international, scorer of a double.

Scoring with his right foot, no problem ⚽

And he wasted no time in making his mark since on the first attack by the Rouge et Blanc, the midfielder from the Academy received a cross from Eliesse Ben Seghir. With his “bad” foot, he then played a one-touch shot into Marco Bizot’s goal to open the scoring (5′).

No time to lose ⏱️

It was a 100% MadeInLaDiagonale goal and also proved that he is capable of finishing with his right foot, as he said post-match in the mixed zone. Since the start of last season, the Tremblay-en-France native has now scored three times in the first ten minutes of play, no current player in the league has a higher total over the period, noted Opta.

Not content? Double it! ✌️

Very active, the number 11 was then close to scoring a double a few moments later but his shot… from the right hit the post (9′). Tireless, as shown by his 74 touches, his nine duels won or his six balls recovered, he was rewarded for his efforts at the start of added time to kill all suspense.

As for the second, I made a deep run, George played me perfectly into space. On the first touch, I position myself in front of the goal and I manage to chip it in. It is important to have the finesse to finish, that is what I managed to do. We work a lot on that in training, it is regular work. It is important for an offensive player to be able to be cold in front of the goal.
Maghnes AklioucheOn his second goal

Found behind the defence by George Ilenikhena, “Magic” Maghnes outpaced the defender and beat the Brest goalkeeper, lobbing him with a clever chipped ball (91′), to score his second double in Ligue 1, after the one in Marseille in September 2023.

MVP + l’Equipe’s Team of the Round 😎

It is therefore no surprise that he was unanimously voted MVP on the AS Monaco App with 93% of the votes, ahead of Soungoutou Magassa, who was once again very good in midfield, and Aleksandr Golovin, who scored his first goal this season with a shot from outside the box.

But this player of the match title was not the only reward for him since he also appears in the team of the round for the 12th matchday with an 8 – the only player to have obtained this mark. It should also be noted that Eliesse Ben Seghir is now at the top of the overall rankings with an average of 6.36. Bravo Maghnes! 👏
