When teams like AS Roma, Manchester City and Villarreal had to qualify for the group stages of the Champions League in August, all three would have happily drawn AS Monaco based on their defensive style of play.

But that was how Monaco played last season. Leonardo Jardim's summer transformation has not only made them a stunning attacking unit but arguably the most feared side within the continent currently.

With six weeks of the season potentially remaining, they have already scored 140 goals in all competitions - the most by any team in Europe by some considerable difference.

Last night showcased even further just why this Ligue 1 outfit can be considered as genuine contenders. A team capable of scoring at any moment, Monaco could match anyone over a two-legged affair.
