Start at the Stade Louis II! Monaco got us going and wasted no time advancing, looking to test Juventus early with quick moves down the flanks. The hosts show attacking intent from the first touches, while Juve remain compact and organized, evaluating things before committing numbers forward.

Juventus are clearly preparing to attack on the counterattack, trying to use the width and release their wingers quickly, but Monaco’s defensive line remains alert. The crosses into the area have yet to find a goal, with the locals reading the danger well and clearing comfortably.

Half an hour has passed and the score is still 0-0. The game has been difficult, with both sides guilty of loose passes and broken movement in the final third. It has been difficult to find rhythm and clear opportunities have been few. Monaco get the ball back again and look to build patiently, trying to regain some control after a difficult period.

The first half ends with the score in Monaco 0-0 Juventus, little danger so far in this match and we will see how the teams adapt to the result of this duel in the second half, a great match at the moment.

Second half underway in Monaco without changes on either side. The same 22 players are back and, although there were no clear-cut chances in the first half, the pace is starting to pick up. Passes are moving a little faster now as both teams look to inject urgency and find that breakthrough. It’s still 0-0, but the intention grows.

Activity on the sidelines now as the substitutes get up to warm up. Monaco look ready to make their first changes, looking for a spark in what has been a close and tight match. The defenses have been on top for most of the game, so fresh legs could be key to unlocking things in the next phase. Still finely balanced.

The pace has become intense, but the quality in the final third has gone down. The game is stagnating in midfield, with more challenges arriving and fewer clear opportunities. Juventus are preparing changes on the bench, probably looking to add fresh legs and manage the closing stages intelligently. Still well prepared as we approach the final 10 minutes.

It ends goalless after a close and tight match. Both teams showed organization and discipline, but clear chances were rare and neither could find the decisive touch in the final third. There was effort and intention, but not great progress. In the end, the points are distributed after a tactical battle on matchday 8.
