The Monaco football club secured their top three position in the French Ligue 1 with a 2-1 victory over Lille on Saturday. The win was a huge boost for Monaco who had been struggling to maintain their form in recent weeks.
Lille had looked like they were in control after taking the lead through a goal from Florian Thauvin in the 58th minute. However, Monaco fought back and equalized just before half-time through a goal from Bernardo Silva.
In the second half, Monaco continued to dominate and were rewarded when Benjamin Mendy scored the winner in the 79th minute. The win ensured that Monaco would finish the season as the top three team in the league.
For Lille, the loss means that their hopes of reaching Europe next season have waned. With only one game remaining, Lille will be hoping to secure a Europa League spot by finishing in the top four. However, with Monaco now sitting two points ahead of them, it looks unlikely that Lille can catch up.
Overall, Monaco's win is a big boost for the team and their fans. It shows that they are capable of competing at the highest level and could potentially challenge for the title next season. Meanwhile, Lille's European hopes have taken a hit and they will need to focus on securing a Europa League place if they want to make it into next season's competition.
