In the La Liga tournament, the creamy chalked up 12 victories and three peaceful outcomes after 16 rounds, which brought 39 points and the first position. The leader has the best attack rate in the league, hitting the gates of opponents 37 times. In the last three rounds the capital defeated Sevilla (2:1), Athletic (1:0) and Real Sociedad (2:0). Bale, Ceballos and Benzema, who has a thigh injury, will not be able to enter the field today.
Monaco finished the Europa League group stage with an away draw with Austrian Sturm (1:1).

In the League 1 championship, Niko Kovacs’ wards are not yet happy with the results. The southerners have seven victories and five peaceful outcomes, which correspond to 26 points and only the seventh position. In the last two rounds the guests defeated Angers (3:1) and Metz (4:0).
