A first challenge in a long month of August

Wissam Ben Yedder’s teammates will face the Dutch team in a double-legged tie, with the first leg at home on August 2 or 3 and the return leg to be played on Tuesday, August 9 in the Netherlands. The team’s last trip there was a win at Philips Stadion (2-1) in the Principality’s 200th European match, before splitting the points at the Stade Louis-II (0-0) later in the Europa League group stage.

This will be the fourth set of matches between AS Monaco and PSV Eindhoven, after the 2003-2004 Champions League group stage (one draw, one victory) and the round of 16 in the same competition the following year (two losses).

In the meantime, another appointment awaits… Good luck, and DAGHE MUNEGU! 🇲🇨
