Monaco play in the 5th best league in Europe. Why is anybody even talking about them?
They beat down Tottenham twice.
Just like PSG was better than Arsenal.
In fact, the top french teams dominated the top EPL teams this season

Get your facts straight please.
Monaco is toying with defenses all season long. 49 (FORTY NINE) goals in 16 games. 9 goals in 6 CL games. Beat Tottenham twice on the way.
As of now, Monaco is THE hottest offensive team in Europe. It might be a different tune in february, but not as of now.
Balotelli, before this year, had 2 goals in 36 games in England/Italy.
He has 6 in 6 games in Ligue 1 this year.
The talent that comes out of France is unreal. But the league isn't that strong.
Real shame that Real Madrid couldn't hang on. Would much rather face Borussia Dortmund than them.
BVB continue to be ridiculously overrated. Bundesliga hype on here is out of control.
Just like how an "so-called" inferior squad tied PSG at both stadiums and then won the group, because the superior squad couldn't beat a freakin' Bulgarian club in Parc.They beat down Tottenham twice.

This wasn't a miracle Evilo as you claim, facts are facts and Arsenal is the best EPL club this year. A club which the most talented (not hottest) French club could not beat. I like Ligue 1, I really do, but it is a very top heavy league. A lot of great players and a lot of terrible players play in it, resulting in mismatched talent levels at times as Edonator concluded with Balotelli. Even with Wenger at the helm, if Arsenal would draw with Monaco sometime in the CL playoffs, it should be considered a CL Final match up.

I wonder if Evilo thinks Monaco were better than Arsenal last year then too. Because Arsenal clearly outplayed them.
No guys. Five games against the same teams isn't enough of a representative sample. PSG is better just because.
Monaco's much better than Arsenal right now anyway.
Monaco's much better than most teams right now.
Here is L'Equipe's best XI from the first phase of the CL (based on the average of L'Equipe's marks) :
Schmeichel (6.5)
Sidibé (6.6)
Glik (6.6)
Bonucci (6.4)
Alaba (6)
Gundogan (6.3)
Iniesta (6.25)
KDB (6.5)
Messi (7.8) !!!!!
Bernardo Silva (7)
Aguero (6.5)
Interesting to see Messi so much above anyone and 3 Monaco players, all from my fantasy team
Just wait until Union are promoted and you have to root against Gladbach.
Also Ilkay "not a top 10 CM" Gündogan
