Monaco has secured their place in the UEFA Champions League for next season after securing a win against Lens on Saturday evening. The win was also enough to secure Monaco's first ever Ligue 1 title as well.
With just three rounds remaining in the league season, Monaco were already mathematically sure of securing their spot in the Champions League. However, they needed to beat Lens and hope that Paris Saint-Germain lose at Nice to secure their spot in the competition.
In the end, Monaco did just that, securing their place in the Champions League by beating Lens 2-1. This meant that Monaco had already sealed their spot in the Champions League and would be joining Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, Bayern Munich, Liverpool and Manchester City in the competition next season.
The win was also enough to give Monaco their first ever Ligue 1 title. With a match left to play, Monaco knew that they needed to win all their remaining games to secure the title. They managed to do just that, defeating Rennes 2-0 in their final game of the season to secure the title.
This is a huge achievement for Monaco, who have been struggling in recent years. Their victory over Lens and securing the Ligue 1 title means that they will now go into the Champions League with confidence and can look forward to a successful campaign next season.
