A fortnight ago, AS Monaco were unbeaten in Ligue 1 and top of the table, seeing them very much included in the title conversation. However, despite back-to-back defeats, firstly to OGC Nice and then to SCO Angers, and in the context of another impressive display in the UEFA Champions League display, the Principality club, now six points behind leaders Paris Saint-Germain, remain the most viable outfit to challenge les Parisiens’ dominance.
However, given that we are only in November, Adi Hütter has sought to dampen any talk of a title challenge. “For me, talking about the title after 10 games, it makes no sense,” said the Monaco manager, in a press conference, attended by Get French Football News. “We can talk about the gap in a couple of months but for now, it makes no sense.”
His words were echoed by Radoslaw Majecki, recently re-instated as No.1 following an injury that ruled him out of the start of the campaign. “Can we compete with PSG? You can ask me in May,” said the Polish goalkeeper.
