Despite a cannonball end to the season, ASM missed the opportunity to qualify directly for the C1.
AS Monaco had the possibility of beating Marseille at the post and definitively grabbing second place. Unfortunately, the young team of Philippe Clément cracked at the end of the match against Lens and conceded the equalizer in the 90th + 6 minute (2-2).
“The cruel scenario of this final meeting should not make us forget the last episodes of this battle that we waged in Ligue 1,” club president Dmitry Rybolovlev told the media.
An eventful season, which could have ended in apotheosis but which also ended in a fantastic series of victories before this cruel draw. “At the end of this season of ups and downs, I want to retain the fighting spirit of the staff and the players. In the difficulty, the group has never let go, even achieving a remarkable series of 9 victories, and is rewarded for his efforts in securing the podium – a seventh time since AS Monaco’s promotion to Ligue 1 nine years ago.”
He also expressed confidence for the future. “Our young team has competed in several competitions this season: national and European. I hope that it will be able to rely on this experience to gain in maturity and consistency. It is with the desire to continue to grow and progress, by building on what has been put in place, that we are preparing for the next season.”
