Kondogbia was heroic, like any ASM

They did it! As they went largely outsiders, the Monegasques have managed the incredible – and the word is not strong enough yet – feat of a 3-1 on the ground of Arsenal during the 8th finals go to the Champions League.

After starting the game up to the floor of the Gunners, Welbeck was also not far from hanging part in the 2nd minute, the Monaco, although greatly reduced (Toulalan, Raggi, Carvalho, absent Kurzawa Bakayoko and Ferreira Carrasco on the bench because reduced) grew bolder as the minutes and thwarted Arsène Wenger in their plans. So much so that the French coach was seriously annoyed at his bench lecturing and increasingly strong troops.

“ This is our home “sang the Monegasque supporters

Author of a big first period Kondogbia inspired, was even open the scoring before the break with a long shot deflected by Mertesacker (0 -1, 38th). Leonardo Jardim exulted at the edge of the field, “ we’re at home ” then sang the Monegasque supporters came in numbers at the Emirates. After the break, Arsenal had a beautiful spirit of revolt and Giroud lacked little EQ on two big occasions.

Giroud has multiplied failed

But on the contrary, the ASM who planted a second against! After an enormous amount of Fabinho, Martial served perfectly Berbatov, who crucified Ospina (0-2, 53 ‘). E-NOR-ME! Monaco became hysterical fans in the stands. Arsenal then off again to attack, and after a judgment of Subasic on a big hit Alexis Sanchez, Giroud incredibly lacking part. Wenger does not believe it.

In fire, Moutinho was then on the verge of registering a fantastic goal after a rescue before Ospina Martial. Before a phone incredibly lucky: when he was wide open goal Welbeck struck on … Walcott on the ground. Late in the game, ASM perfectly managed his advantage … until this magnificent curling shot of Oxlade-Chamberlain in the window of Subasic (1-2, 91st). But in injury time, Ferreira Carrasco punished the Gunners deceiving his Ospina tower with the help of the post (1-3, 94th)! An extraordinary result before returning to Louis II on 17 March.

Man of the Match. Geoffrey Kondogbia (9/10)

International tricolor was absolutely huge in midfield. With a superb reading of the game, he broke many opposing offenses. Effective recovery, specific to the stimulus and scorer with some success. Heroic, like most of its partners

ARSENAL.

David Ospina (4) : if it comes out well in the Martial feet in the second period, the former Nice still has to bow three times tonight. Hard

Hector Bellerin (3) . The sentence on its right side, Martial asked him big problems in the second period

Francis Coquelin (4.5) . It does not was really to his advantage in midfield. He spends even close to the exclusion in the second period. Replaced in the 68th minute with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (not rated) who thinks boost Arsenal by staying the ball into the top corner of Subasic.

Santiago Cazorla (6) : the Spanish international was pretty good in midfield. At the origin of several dangerous movements of his team. Replaced in the 81st minute with Tomas Rosicky (not rated) that has not had time to shine tonight.

MONACO:

Danijel Subasic (7) : powerless on the striking of Oxlade-Chamberlain, doorman ASM was reassuring the rest of the time. Vigilant few balls in the back of the Monaco defense

almamy Touré (6.5) . If we never saw him take his lane the young Monaco defender has however been good defensively on its right side. He was able to answer this. . Hat

Wallace (7.5) : The Brazilian was very solid in central defense. He won many duels even if he finishes very tired

Aymen Abdennour (8) . Enraged, he fought like a lion from start to the end. What a riot of energy to win an incredible number of duels! It is not after this match, especially against this opponent, Tottenham will stop following him …

Elderson Echiejile (5) the replacement for Kurzawa suffered on its left side. Not far from being punished by Welbeck in the 2nd minute on a rough defense. Not always reassuring, but he never let go of the piece

Dimitar Berbatov (7 5) : the whistles of the Emirates may have given him a motivational surplus. Very good in its pivotal role before he entered the second most important goal for the ASM. Replaced in the 75th minute with Yannick Ferreira Carrasco (not rated) author of a very good entry and especially for this purpose at the 94th minute allowing Monaco to win 3-1.

Anthony Martial (7) : first draft in the first period, however it was decisive on its side after the break by large differences in ball foot. Decisive pass to Berbatov. Replaced in the 84th minute with Bernardo Silva (unrated) which was good during his few minutes spent on the field.
