Monaco have secured their place in the UEFA Champions League playoffs after defeating Lille 2-0 on Tuesday night.

The win means that Monaco will face either Real Madrid or Ajax in the play-off round, with the winner advancing to the group stage of the competition next season.

Monaco's victory was achieved thanks to two goals from star striker Radamel Falcao, who scored twice in the first half.

The match was tense throughout, with both teams creating chances but failing to break down the other's defense.

However, Monaco were ultimately able to take control of the game and secure their place in the playoffs.

The win is a significant achievement for Monaco, who had struggled to find form this season and were knocked out of the Europa League by Dynamo Kyiv earlier this month.

But with the help of their new signing Falcao, they have been able to turn things around and secure their place in the playoffs.

The win also marks a return to success for Monaco, who have struggled in recent years and have only made it to the knockout stages of Europe's premier club competition once since 2014.

Overall, Monaco's victory over Lille is a testament to their resilience and ability to bounce back from setbacks, and sets them up well for the upcoming playoffs.
