When Monaco shipped four goals against Bruges in the Champions League 🤯 | OneFootball

Like a sense of déjà vu.

Thrashed by Bruges on Thursday night (4-1), AS Monaco experienced one of its worst matches in European competition.

If we say it’s one of their worst, it’s because Monaco’s biggest defeat in the Champions League had already happened... against Bruges in 2018.

During that infamous nightmare season when they finished 17th in Ligue 1, just two points above the relegation playoff, the club from the Rock hosted FC Bruges in the Champions League group stage.

With Thierry Henry on the bench and a makeshift starting XI, Monaco sank without a trace, losing 4-0 to a rampant Belgian side. Hans Vanaken, who scored again this Thursday night, had already netted a brace against ASM that year.

Overall, that Champions League campaign was a long ordeal for Monaco. Placed in a group with Atlético Madrid, Dortmund, and Bruges, they finished last in their group with just a single point.

Let’s hope for them—and for French football—that they’ll manage to bounce back in their next match... against Manchester City.
