Monaco Ends Winless Streak, Defeats Aston Villa 1-0

AS Monaco secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Aston Villa in the Champions League, thanks to an early goal by Wilfried Singo. This win snaps Monaco's four-game winless streak and puts them at ninth in the standings, level on points with seventh-placed Villa, whose top-eight finish is now uncertain. Villa, who had been unbeaten in their last five matches, struggled to break through Monaco's defense despite dominating possession at times. The defeat means Villa will likely need to defeat Celtic in their final group match to secure automatic qualification to the last 16. Both teams had chances, but Villa's efforts, including those from Ollie Watkins and Leon Bailey, were thwarted by Monaco's solid defense and goalkeeper Radoslaw Majecki. The loss places additional pressure on Villa ahead of their decisive match against Celtic next week.
