When the final round of Champions League group fixtures comes around next week, the attentions of Ligue 1 fans are likely to have drifted from the Camp Nou, where Paris Saint-Germain take on Barcelona in a blue riband fixture as they bid to cement top spot in Group F. Instead, many will be occupied by the prospect of events in Group C on the Tuesday, as Monaco meet Zenit Saint Petersburg in a winner-takes-all clash at the Stade Louis II.
This has been a long time coming for Ligue 1. So many poor performances in Europe. Hopefully Monaco can pull through.
