AS Monaco hold top spot with draw at Strasbourg
By Zak Jackson, MonacoViews Editorial
A 1-1 result at Strasbourg on matchday four keeps AS Monaco unbeaten and provisionally top of Ligue 1 heading into the weekend.
AS Monaco came from behind to claim a point at Strasbourg on Saturday, maintaining their unbeaten start to the 2026-27 Ligue 1 season. The result leaves the club provisionally top of the table after four rounds of fixtures, continuing a perfect opening run that had drawn considerable attention in the French top flight.
It was not a polished performance. Monaco found themselves trailing on the Alsace pitch before levelling to preserve their unbeaten record, and the squad will know a more convincing display is needed against stronger opposition. That said, the ability to grind out a result away from the Stade Louis II is a marker of resilience any title-chasing side requires.
Monaco's next home fixture will give supporters at the Stade Louis II a closer look at whether this early-season form is built to last. With the squad sitting top of the standings at this stage, expectations in the Principality are already rising.
