AS Monaco, having already secured their spot in the Champions League prior to the final matchday of Ligue 1, suffered a significant defeat against Lens, losing 0-4 this Saturday. This shocking loss was particularly disappointing for defender Christian Mawissa, who expressed his frustration following the game.
In an interview with DAZN, the 20-year-old central defender reflected on the match, stating, “We will only remember the qualification for the Champions League. We wanted to end the season well, but we fell short. I can’t find the words. Is there anger? Yes, of course. Losing 4-0 like that hurts. Now we’ll try to switch gears; it’s vacation time, and we’ll aim to forget this and focus on next season.”
Despite their inconsistency throughout the season, Monaco achieved their goal by finishing in third place. Their qualification for the Champions League is a significant achievement that will provide them an opportunity to compete at the highest level next year.
Looking forward, it’s essential for the team to regroup and prepare for the challenges ahead. Acknowledging the lessons learned from this season’s ups and downs could be vital for their future success. Fans and players alike can remain hopeful for a more consistent and victorious season to come.
