Ligue 1 Round 38: Monaco Defeats Lens 2, Runner-Up and ChAMP.

The Ligue 1 round 38 match between Monaco and Lens was a closely fought battle that saw both teams struggle to find their rhythm in the first half.

Monaco started strong with a goal from Antoine Griezmann, but they were unable to capitalise on their early lead as Lens took advantage of their position in the opposition penalty area. The goal came in the 16th minute when Griezmann's shot hit the crossbar and bounced off the foot of goalkeeper Kévin Ménard before going over the bar.

Monaco's resilience showed in the second half as they fought back with goals from Karim Benzema and Marquinhos. However, Lens were able to build upon their lead and scored twice in the 79th and 84th minutes to secure the win.

The result is not only important for Monaco in their quest for a return to the Champions League after a disappointing campaign last season, but also for the team's chances of making it into the top four of La Liga next season. With just one point remaining, Monaco will need to perform well if they want to keep their hopes alive.

In conclusion, the Ligue 1 round 38 match between Monaco and Lens was a close and entertaining affair that showcased the strengths and weaknesses of each side. While Monaco may have been fortunate to come out on top, they will be hoping for more consistency from their opponents this season.
