Monaco Stuns Manchester City Again in Champions League Thriller

According to the news article, the only previous competitive meetings between Monaco and Manchester City came in the last 16 of the 2016-17 UEFA Champions League, with the French side progressing on away goals following a 6-6 aggregate scoreline.

Remarkably, Monaco are one of only two sides, along with Real Madrid in 2024-25, to eliminate a Pep Guardiola team from the Champions League prior to the quarter-finals. After losing against Monaco at the Stade Louis II in March 2017, Guardiola could now lose his first two away games against the same opponent, a feat he has only achieved twice before in his managerial career.

Despite their recent struggles, Monaco have a strong home record against English clubs in the Champions League, losing just once in seven matches. In contrast, Manchester City's star striker Erling Haaland has scored a lower percentage of his Champions League goals away from home compared to other top scorers in the competition.
