Three Monégasques are in L’Équipe's Team of Matchday 31 and more!
They played an (almost) perfect match! Dominant from start to finish as they recorded a great victory against Lorient this Sunday at the Stade Louis-II (3-1), the players of AS Monaco have been thus rewarded. The men of Philippe Clement, who are now just three points off second place in the Ligue 1 standings, thus find themselves in large numbers this Monday in l’Équipe‘s team of the round in Ligue 1 and the best French players from the weekend.
A masterclass from the Tsar
In the first of these, we found Aleksandr Golovin, who was (almost) decisive on the opening goal by Krépin Diatta (1-0, 14′), and who scored a quarter of an hour later (2-0, 28′). He was also involved in the third goal for the Rouge et Blanc, scored by Kevin Volland, as the Tsar delivered a massive performance with two key passes plus a goal, his seventh already in the league this season!

Involved in three goals!
Also very useful for the team in his pressing with six balls recovered and a successful tackle, the number 17 of the Rouge et Blanc was thus accompanied in this team of the round by Youssouf Fofana, who was involved in the goal scored by the Russian winger, as it was he who recovered the ball before picking out the decisive passer, Wissam Ben Yedder.

Youssouf bosses the midfield
Imperial in the midfield alongside Mohamed Camara, the French international completed the match with eight balls won, six interceptions and two tackles, in addition to having attempted seven dribbles. Youss’ even had a fantastic run which earned him an ovation from the Stade Louis-II fans, who came out in large numbers thanks to a very successful “Tous au Stade” campaign.
The French team of the weekend for Axel!
As well as our midfielders, Axel Disasi took his place in the French team of the weekend. Very solid in defence, as was the rest of the resolute Monegasque defence, the vice-captain of the Rouge et Blanc finished the meeting with nine ball recoveries, four clearances and 14 passes in the last third of the field.

Proof that he is also very valuable in getting forward. Axel appears in a five-star eleven, among others his teammates in the French national team, Kylian Mbappé, Antoine Griezmann and Benjamin Pavard. Daghe les gars! 🇲🇨
