It appears that AS Monaco, despite earning promotion to Ligue 1, is set to face challenges in the upcoming season due to sanctions imposed by the LFP disciplinary committee. Following incidents during their match against Le Mans on the 37th day of Ligue 2, the committee sanctioned Monaco with a match behind closed doors and three penalty points, with one of them suspended for the upcoming season.
The disciplinary committee expressed regret over the behavior of AS Monaco supporters, citing the use of pyrotechnic devices, invasion of the pitch after the match, and brutality towards the referee by a spectator who invaded the pitch. These actions have led to consequences that could potentially impact the club’s performance in the upcoming Ligue 1 season.
Starting the season with a points deduction, even if one of them is suspended, can be a disadvantage for AS Monaco, especially considering the competitive nature of the league. It may pose a challenge for the club as they aim to play a significant role in Ligue 1 in the coming season. The incident-related sanctions underscore the importance of maintaining discipline both on and off the field in professional football.
