AS Monaco secured their place on the Ligue 1 podium and in next season’s UEFA Champions League thanks to a superb 2-0 victory against Olympique Lyonnais on a festive evening at the Stade Louis II.

In a warm atmosphere for the last home match of the season, AS Monaco got the job done against a tough opponent.

Thanks to goals from Takumi Minamino and Denis Zakaria, the Red and Whites have now claimed a place on the podium and thus validated their ticket for next term’s Champions League.

Prince Albert II and President Dmitry Rybolovlev were present in the stands to celebrate this victory.

President Rybolovlev was also present at AS Monaco’s training session at La Turbie on the eve of this important clash with Lyom. His visit paid off, as did his visit to the performance centre before the 3-1 win over Saint-Etienne on 3 May.

A great reward for the Principality club, who finished this campaign’s home fixtures in style in front of their supporters.
