Monaco is touching on the Euroleague play-offs, thanks to its success in Villeurbanne (87-77) on Thursday after a clash as messy as it was uncertain, during the 32nd and antepenultimate day of the regular season.
Even if their competitors were faultless, a single success at home against poorly ranked teams would be enough to seal the Roca Team's qualification for the final phase and therefore their return to the Euroleague next season. Whether against the Lithuanians of Kaunas (11th) next week or Bayern Munich (15th) the following.
In the meantime, between Villeurbanne and Monaco, the neo-classic remains one-way, at least this season since it is the fifth Monegasque success in as many confrontations.
And even the tenth in a row: the Roca Team has not lost since the coronation of Asvel during the fifth match of the final of the 2022 French championship.
For the Rock club, the ambition of top-4 in the regular season is intact and it can even frankly dream of second place in the event of a setback by Panathinaikos in Bologna on Friday (8:30 p.m.).
