Monaco have made an encouraging start to their 2026/27 Ligue 1 campaign.
Under Filipe Luís, the club collected 14 points from their opening seven fixtures.

The October 18 encounter ended in a disappointing 1-0 loss.
That result prevented Monaco from maintaining their position at the top of the standings.

Olivier Giroud scored the equalising goal from the penalty spot.
Before that, Lille defeated Le Havre 1-0 but suffered a 2-1 away defeat against Nice.
The team's Champions League performances have also been disappointing.
On October 21, Lille lost 4-2 against Galatasaray.
That result followed a 3-0 defeat against Arsenal.
These European setbacks have raised questions about the team's ability to maintain defensive stability against strong opponents.
However, Lille have remained considerably more disciplined in domestic competition.
