United States striker Folarin Balogun scored his first career Champions League goal to lead AS Monaco to a 1-0 win over Bodo/Glimt on Tuesday night. Balogun scored the game's only goal right before halftime, smashing his shot from a tight angle into the roof of the net as Monaco won its first game of the league phase and are on five points after four matches.

Manchester City were close to beating Monaco in the second round of the Champions League group phase, but a late penalty given to the Ligue 1 side, converted by former Tottenham Hotspur and Bayern Munich defender Eric Dier, snatched two points away from them.

"Reaching the Final Four is not just about sacrifice - it's about the fight. Only when you've truly fought for something can you understand its real value."

I have a good relationship with the club here. We talked, but couldn't reach an agreement. Then I started looking around.

Liverpool are monitoring AS Monaco's Vanderson as a potential replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold, who is expected to leave at season's end.
