Monaco can finish third but trail Brugge by three points and must reduce that gap. • Los Colchoneros had to come from behind to win at Monaco on matchday one, however, Samuel Grandsir having given the home side an 18th-minute advantage. Atlético engineered what proved to be a decisive turnaround before half-time, however, goals from Diego Costa (31) and José María Giménez (45+1) securing the win. Form guide Atlético • Diego Simeone's side were 3-1 winners at home to Club Brugge on matchday two having won at Monaco. They unexpectedly went down 4-0 at Dortmund on matchday three – their joint heaviest European defeat – but turned the tables on the German club with a victory at the Estadio Metropolitano last time out thanks to goals from Saúl Ñíguez and Antoine Griezmann. • The defeat in Dortmund ended Atlético's five-match winning run in European games, and is only their second defeat in their last 18 matches in continental competition (W12 D4). • 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 won only one of their three home games in last season's group stage, and had their 11-match unbeaten home European run (W9 D2) ended by a 2-1 loss against Chelsea on matchday two – the Spanish club's first continental game at their new Estadio Metropolitano home.

    The Gffn 100 2018: Ten to Watch

    GFFN 100 2018 THE GFFN 100: AN INTRODUCTION Welcome to another edition of the Get French Football News 100. Published at the end of ev- ery year by GFFN, the guide you are reading is as detailed and comprehensive a set of player profiles as one is likely to find, especially in English. Some of these players are well-known, even to the casual fan, and though they have been the subjects of countless profiles, we hope that you can gain a bit more depth in knowledge of their stories. This is especially true with the likes of Neymar and his Paris Saint-Germain team-mate Kylian Mbappé. In 2018, neither was ever far from the limelight in a year in which France won the World Cup, thanks in large part to the teen- age sensation. Neymar may have garnered the odd headline for less positive reasons, but both remain as compelling off the pitch as they do on it. It is thus no surprise to see Mbappé top the rankings again; it does not take much objectivity to realise his immense talent and potential, but the present document is much more than a narra- tive driven by celebrity. We have watched the matches that do not generate headlines, seen the teams that are rarely on television, especially internationally, and artfully blended statistical anal- ysis with old-fashioned scouting to create what we feel is a definitive guide to the professionals currently plying their trade in France. If some rankings seem high, or low, read the profiles before making a snap decision as to our choices; this is a meritocracy.
