Reaching the 10-game mark of the season and remaining unbeaten marks a great start for Monaco, who are keeping pace with Paris Saint-Germain in the French top flight.
Despite the 0-0 draw against Lille on Friday, jordan thesisAlthough PSG's victory the following day put Monaco ahead on goal difference, a red card on the hour mark was ultimately a good point for the club from the coach.
Monaco faced a storm, both literal and figurative, as they drew 2-0 against Dinamo Zagreb in their final Champions League match. Denis Zakaria Late penalty.
After defeating Barcelona on matchday one, Monaco has the opportunity to go three games unbeaten to begin a UCL campaign for the first time since 2016-17, a season in which they reached the semifinals.

TO Luka Ilic The Serbs maintained a healthy lead at the top of the Super League with a 5-1 thrashing of Radniki Nis in a masterclass on Friday night.
In a very different match, Red Star were certainly complacent after leading 3-0 at half-time, but then needed a goalkeeper. Marco Illic In a game in which 32 shots were taken on goal, 11 stopped Radnicki in the second half.
Despite having little competition domestically, Red Star have struggled to advance in the Champions League, going winless in their previous 12 matches in the competition, losing 11.
Away from home, Red Star has been even worse, having lost 11 in a row away from home, conceding 37 goals and scoring only six, so it is not surprising that they have not made it past the first phase of the competition. They won it in 1991.
Vladan MilojevicRed Star have never won a European competition in their eight visits to France and have conceded at least two goals in all of those games, so they will have to make history if they want to end any of those barren streaks.
