The 2017-18 campaign delivered a resilient 2nd-place finish for AS Monaco as Les Monegasques secured Champions League qualification following their title-winning season. Leading the charge was the ever-reliable captain Radamel Falcao, whose 18 league goals (24 across all competitions) anchored the attack alongside the breakout form of Rony Lopes. This impressive domestic consistency, under manager Leonardo Jardim, was achieved despite the significant summer sales of key title-winning players like Kylian Mbappé, Bernardo Silva, and Benjamin Mendy. Monaco reached the finals of the Coupe de la Ligue and Trophée des Champions, ultimately falling short to rivals Paris Saint-Germain, but the campaign remains a testament to the club's resilience and capacity to compete at the top of Ligue 1.
