Monaco, meanwhile, bowed out of Europe altogether at the conclusion of the group stage having finished bottom of a section including Beşiktaş, Porto and RB Leipzig. Form guide Monaco • Second in Ligue 1 last season, Monaco reached the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League semi-finals but finished bottom of their group last season having collected two points from their six games. • Monaco are without a win in eight European games (D2 L6), since a 3-1 home victory against Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-final second leg in April 2017. • The French side have won their last three matches against Spanish Liga opposition, including away (2-1) and home (1-0) victories against Villarreal in the 2016/17 play-offs. • Monaco have lost only once at home to Spanish visitors, and are unbeaten in their last seven such encounters (W6 D1). • Runners-up in 2004, Monaco remain the last French team to reach the UEFA Champions League final. Atlético • UEFA Champions League finalists in 2014 and 2016, and semi-finalists two seasons ago, Atlético won only one game in the 2017/18 competition, drawing four to finish behind Roma and Chelsea in their section. • However, Los Rojiblancos then moved into the UEFA Europa League, winning their first five matches and losing only one of nine overall as they defeated Marseille 3-0 in the Lyon final. • Atlético have won their last two matches against French clubs, and have lost only one of their 13 fixtures against Ligue 1 sides. They are unbeaten in their last five such fixtures (W3 D2). • Diego Simeone's side have already lifted European silverware this season, beating Real Madrid 4-2 in August's UEFA Super Cup in Tallinn – making them the first team to win the competition on their first three appearances. • Atlético have therefore won their last three European games, and have lost only one of their last 14 matches in continental competition (W9 D4). • The Rojiblancos have reached two UEFA Champions League and three UEFA Europa League finals in the last nine seasons. Links and trivia • Thomas Lemar joined Atlético from Monaco this summer having made 90 appearances for the Ligue 1 side, scoring 16 goals. He was part of the side that lifted the French title and reached the UEFA Champions League semi-finals in 2016/17. • Radamel Falcao scored 52 goals in 68 matches for Atlético between 2011 and 2013, including two in the 2012 UEFA Europa League final victory against Athletic Club, and also featured in the 2013 Copa del Rey final win against Real Madrid.
