On site Wednesday evening to follow the Champions League match lost by Monaco against Benfica (2-3), Carine Galli felt that the result was cruel for the locals.
Wednesday evening on its pitch at the Stade Louis II, AS Monaco suffered the first defeat of its Champions League campaign. Opposing Benfica, Adi Hütter's men were overthrown in the last minutes of the game (2-3) after being reduced to ten men shortly before the hour mark. A particularly cruel scenario, according to Carine Galli.
Traveling to the Rock to follow the meeting, the channel's journalist The Team gave her opinion on what she had seen. “I'm going to go with 'cruel' because Monaco has played and knows how to play football very well. There is a scenario which is obviously very difficult. […] I found that for a very long time, we did not see Monegasque numerical inferiority. » The observer nonetheless paid tribute to the strong man of Benfica last night, Angel Di Maria.
“Monaco was right”
“Di Maria’s two balls are absolutely magnificent. We don't see him in the second period, except that he gives two jewels with his left paw and they are transformed with two Lisbon heads. » And Carine Galli returns to the performance of the ASM. “Honestly, I think Monaco had a great match. » On the set of the sports media, a consultant then estimated that the score was logical, enough to make the journalist react.
“I don't completely agree with what I hear on set because in fact we are rewriting the story based on the script. […] Balogun, I don't think he made a bad entrance. […] Akliouche had another huge match. Golovin, even though he's gone down, he's valuable. They were right. It is not these two goals (from Benfica at the end of the match, editor's note) which should make us change the reading of the match. » After this defeat, Monaco remains eighth, and therefore in a direct qualifying position for the next round. But the road is still long with three shocks. Two trips to Arsenal and Inter Milan, with the reception of Aston Villa in the middle.
