The AS Monaco group for the European poster against Benfica

Here is the list of players called up by the Monegasque coach, Adi Hütter, for the reception of the SLB Eagles this Wednesday at the Stade Louis-II (kick-off 9 p.m.), on behalf of the 5th day of the Champions League.

Get a little closer to the dams. With already 10 points gleaned in this 2024-2025 C1 campaign, AS Monaco approaches with confidence the reception of Benfica this Wednesday at the Stade Louis-II (9 p.m.), for the 5th day. A positive result, and the Rouge et Blanc would come very close to the next stage in this European journey.

A history to sweep

Still a delicate mission, if we remember the double confrontation against the Eagles during the 2014-2015 season, which remained goalless for the Rouge et Blanc (0-0 at the Stade Louis-II, defeat 1-0 in Portugal). Especially since the team led by former Parisian Angel Di Maria, author of 6 goals and 9 assists in his career against the Rocher club, needs a victory to reassure itself.

  • Krépin Diatta (adductor) is in treatment

It will be an interesting match because both teams have a lot of quality, especially offensively. I also saw that Benfica, on Bayern's pitch, defended well in a low block. They have six points, we have ten from four games, and therefore certainly have more pressure. I don't want to say that it will be an open match but it will be a meeting with two teams who like to play football with an attacking style.
