Don’t tell me how to do my job
Aurélien Tchouameni is the first non-attacking Monaco player to score a double in Ligue 1 since Almamy Touré on November 29, 2015 in Marseille. He has scored his five top-flight goals in three different ways (three right-footed, one headed, one left-footed).

Wissam hits form
Wissam Ben Yedder recorded his fifth assist this season in Ligue 1, each to a different teammate (Diop, Golovin, Caio Henrique, Jean Lucas and Tchouameni). Involved in 26 goals in 2021-2022 in the top flight (21 goals, 5 assists), the Monaco striker is only one away from his best total in a season in the European Top 5 leagues (27, with Sevilla in 2018-2019 and Monaco in 2020-2021).
There's no stopping that strike 🤯

Sharing is caring
Caio Henrique has eight assists this season in Ligue 1, the highest total for a Monaco defender in a season since Opta began collecting this data (2006-2007).
Thou shalt not pass
Alexander Nübel has conceded just one goal in his last 15 shots on target. The German goalkeeper has managed 11 clean sheets in Ligue 1 this season; only Walter Benitez (14) and Matz Sels (12) have done better.
Big nights
With this latest win Friday in Lille, Monaco have lost only one of their last nine trips to the reigning champion in Ligue 1 (three wins, five draws).
