Uefa Champions League UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE - 2018/19 SEASON MATCH PRESS KITS BVB Stadion Dortmund - Dortmund Wednesday 3 October 2018 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Borussia Dortmund Group A - Matchday 2 AS Monaco FC Last updated 02/10/2018 03:39CET UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE OFFICIAL SPONSORS Match background 2 Legend 4 1 Borussia Dortmund - AS Monaco FC Wednesday 3 October 2018 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit BVB Stadion Dortmund, Dortmund Match background There are contrasting moods at Borussia Dortmund and Monaco as they prepare to renew acquaintance in the second round of Group A fixtures. • While Christian Pulišić scored a late winner for Dortmund at Club Brugge on matchday one, Monaco let slip a one- goal lead to lose 2-1 at home to Atlético Madrid, extending their run of UEFA Champions League defeats to three – and their winless streak to nine. Previous meetings • The teams' only past fixtures came in the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League quarter-finals – Monaco's most recent European wins. The French side won the away first leg 3-2 in Germany, Shinji Kagawa getting Dortmund's second goal. • Radamel Falcao was on target in a 3-1 Monaco victory in the Stade Louis II second leg; Marco Reus got Dortmund's sole reply. Leonardo Jardim's side went on to lose home and away to Juventus in the semi-finals. Form guide Dortmund • Fourth in last season's Bundesliga, the German club are in the group stage for the third season running, and the seventh time in eight years – and they have already improved on their 2017/18 campaign, when they picked up only two points from their six fixtures. They went on to reach the UEFA Europa League round of 16, losing to Salzburg. • The victory at Club Brugge on matchday one was only Dortmund's second in their last 12 UEFA Champions League fixtures (D3 L7). • The German club picked up only one point at home in last season's group stage, and are without a win in their last four matches in the competition in Dortmund (D1 L3). • The 3-2 home win against Atalanta in the UEFA Europa League round of 32 first leg was Dortmund's only European victory last season, and is their only success in their last six European home matches (D1 L4). • Dortmund's record at home to French clubs reads W4 D3 L2. They have won only two of their last seven games at home to French visitors; a 3-0 win against Marseille in the 2013/14 UEFA Champions League group stage is the only success in the last five. Monaco • Second in Ligue 1 last season, Monaco reached the 2016/17 UEFA Champions League semi-finals but finished bottom of their 2017/18 group having collected two points from their six games. • Monaco drew two of their three away games in 2017/18, losing the other; that win in Dortmund in 2016/17 is their sole success in their last eight European away fixtures (D3 L4). • Monaco are without a win in nine European games (D2 L7), since that 3-1 home victory against Dortmund in the quarter-final second leg in April 2017. • Monaco drew 1-1 at RB Leipzig on matchday one last season, and have lost on only one of their last eight trips to Germany (W4 D3). • Runners-up in 2004, Monaco remain the last French team to reach the UEFA Champions League final. Links and trivia • Dortmund coach Lucien Favre was in charge of Nice between 2016 and departing for Germany this summer, guiding the club to third place in Ligue 1 in 2016/17. Favre had also had a spell in France as a player, representing Toulouse between 1981 and 1983. • Abdou Diallo was at Monaco between 2014 and 2017, making ten Ligue 1 appearances. • Have played together: Marwin Hitz & Diego Benaglio (Wolfsburg 2008–13) Ömer Toprak & Benjamin Henrichs (Leverkusen 2015–17) • Have played in Germany: Diego Benaglio (Stuttgart 2002–05, Wolfsburg 2008–17) Benjamin Henrichs (Leverkusen 2015–18) • Have played in France: Raphaël Guerreiro (Caen 2012/13, Lorient 2013–16) Dan-Axel Zagadou (Paris Saint-Germain B 2016/17) 2 Borussia Dortmund - AS Monaco FC Wednesday 3 October 2018 - 21.00CET (21.00 local time) Match press kit BVB Stadion Dortmund, Dortmund • International team-mates Łukasz Piszczek & Kamil Glik (Poland) Axel Witsel & Youri Tielemans, Nacer Chadli (Belgium) Achraf Hakimi & Youssef Aït Bennasser (Morocco) • Falcao scored in Colombia's 3-0 defeat of Piszczek's Poland during this summer's FIFA World Cup group stage. • Kagawa was on target as Japan beat Falcao and Colombia 2-1 in the same section at the World Cup. • Kagawa's Japan lost 3-2 to Belgium in the round of 16 at the World Cup, Chadli scoring Belgium's last-minute winner. • Guerreiro helped Portugal win UEFA EURO 2016 in France.

  • Ligue 1 Guide 2021/22
    2021/2022 Ligue 1 Preview Guide INTRODUCTION After a historically close title race that saw four teams in the running Ligue 1 is back with no small amount of fanfare following a busy summer. Of those four sides, while Lille and Lyon have been relatively quiet as they try to consolidate under new managers, Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain have been eager participants in the mercato, buying well in a way that addresses the two sides’ needs. Nice and Rennes have also done some canny business in the offseason, to say nothing of Marseille’s flood of arrivals, but the discussions about pro- spective title favorites in France have to start and end with the capital side. Even as rumors swirl around the potential departure of Kylian Mbappé, it’s hard to argue that Paris Saint-Ger- main haven’t done their utmost to convince their young star to stay. At least, that is, if one judges by their transfer activity. The arrivals of Sergio Ramos, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Georginio Wijnaldum, and Achraf Hakimi have bolstered Mauricio Pochettino’s side in key areas whilst also adding another layer of dynamism. If he can keep his squad happy and balanced, this team looks as potent as any in Europe, Elsewhere, Monaco are probably best-equipped to challenge, even as they will have to contend with playing European football. The arrivals of Myron Boadu, Alexander Nübel and Ismail Jakobs look to be upgrades, and so long as Niko Kovac’s exciting, front-foot football remains in place and so do all of its key elements.
