"Monaco progressed into the play-off round of the Champions League after a 0-0 draw with Juventus at Stade-Louis II. The Ligue 1 side finished 21st in the league phase, despite being on the brink of elimination at half-time, while Juventus ended the league phase in 13th to join Monaco in the playoffs. The best chance of the match came after just 56 seconds."
"Folarin Balogun did have the ball in the back of the net in the 14th minute, but he fouled Pierre Kalulu in the build-up to see the goal promptly disallowed by the referee. Vanderson tested Perin twice before the break, but the goalkeeper was equal to both shots, while Lois Openda fired wide at the other end in a rare attack for the visitors."
Monaco progressed to the Champions League play-off round after a goalless draw with Juventus at Stade-Louis II. Monaco finished 21st in the league phase while Juventus ended 13th, and both sides moved into the playoffs. The match’s clearest opening came within the first minute when Mattia Perin passed straight to Maghnes Akliouche, who missed a first-time effort. Folarin Balogun had a 14th-minute strike disallowed for a foul on Pierre Kalulu. Vanderson tested Perin twice before half-time and Lois Openda fired wide for Juventus. The second half produced little action and both teams settled for a point. Monaco will face either Paris Saint-Germain or Newcastle United, and Juventus will meet either Club Brugge or Galatasaray for a last-16 spot.
