AS Monaco have secured qualification for next season's UEFA Champions League following their win over the weekend.

The Ligue 1 side will return to the competition for the first time since the 2018/19 season.

Monaco beat Montpellier in the league on Sunday evening to cement their second position on the league table with just one game to go.

Mohammed Salisu started and played the entire duration of the game as they also managed to keep a clean sheet.

Salisu joined Monaco from Southampton last summer following the Saints' relegation to the Championship.

The Ghanaian defender has featured in 11 games in Ligue 1 this campaign starting 10 of them and contributing two clean sheets.

He also has one assist to his name.

With a Champions League spot secured, Salisu will be playing in Europe's top club competition for the first time in his career.

Monaco will look to do better than they last did in their last appearance when they finished bottom of their group and failed to make it past the group stage.
