Monaco 0-0 Tottenham Hotspur: Post-match review, Stats, Key moments

Dive into Coral's post-match review of Monaco 0-0 Tottenham Hotspur in the Champions League on Wednesday, 22 October 2025, with stats, key moments and our take on the match.

The match between Monaco and Tottenham Hotspur ended in a goalless draw, a result that might not surprise given both teams' recent form. Monaco, who drew 2-2 against Manchester City in their previous outing, showed resilience at home but couldn't break through Tottenham's defence. Tottenham, coming off a 2-2 draw against Bodø / Glimt, also struggled to find the net despite their efforts. This result sees neither team extending nor ending any particular run, maintaining a steady but unspectacular performance level in the Champions League.

In terms of standout performances, no single player dominated the game, but both teams' defences were commendable. Monaco's backline, led by Mohammed Salisu, held firm against Tottenham's attacks, while Guglielmo Vicario in Tottenham's goal was instrumental in keeping a clean sheet. The draw leaves both teams with work to do in their upcoming fixtures, as they look to build momentum and secure a better position in the tournament.

The statistics from the match between Monaco and Tottenham Hotspur largely align with the goalless draw. Monaco enjoyed 56% possession compared to Tottenham's 44%, indicating a slight dominance in controlling the game. However, this did not translate into more scoring opportunities, as evidenced by the close number of corners, with Monaco taking 5 and Tottenham 4. The most notable statistic was Monaco's successful dribbles percentage at 62%, significantly higher than Tottenham's 42%, suggesting they were more effective in moving the ball forward.

Despite Monaco's edge in possession and dribbling, the lack of yellow cards for Monaco (0.0) compared to Tottenham's 1.0 suggests a disciplined performance from the home side. The game's outcome was a fair reflection of the statistics, with neither team able to capitalise on their opportunities, resulting in a stalemate.

The key moments in the match between Monaco and Tottenham Hotspur were primarily defined by the lack of goals and significant scoring opportunities. Both teams made multiple substitutions, with Monaco making 4 and Tottenham 5, indicating attempts to change the game's dynamics. However, these changes did not lead to a breakthrough, as the game remained tightly contested throughout.

The only notable disciplinary action was a yellow card for Tottenham, which did not significantly impact the game's flow. The absence of red cards, penalties, or injury time goals further underscores the evenly matched nature of the contest, with both teams' defences holding strong and preventing any decisive moments.

Monaco lined up in a 3-4-2-1 formation, with Philipp Köhn in goal and a back three of Thilo Kehrer, Mohammed Salisu, and Caio Henrique. The midfield was anchored by J. Teze, Mamadou Coulibaly, Kassoum Ouattara, and Krépin Diatta, with Maghnes Akliouche and Ansu Fati supporting striker Folarin Balogun. The lineup showed no major surprises, but the impact of the four substitutions made by Monaco suggests an attempt to inject fresh legs and change the game's momentum.

Despite the changes, no player from Monaco particularly stood out, with the team's performance being a collective effort to maintain a solid defensive shape. The formation allowed for a balanced approach, but ultimately, they couldn't find the breakthrough needed to secure a win.

Tottenham Hotspur opted for a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Guglielmo Vicario between the posts and a back four of Pedro Porro, Kevin Danso, Micky van de Ven, and Archie Gray. The midfield duo of Rodrigo Bentancur and João Palhinha provided stability, while Mohammed Kudus, Lucas Bergvall, and Wilson Odobert supported striker Richarlison. The lineup was as expected, with no major surprises in the starting XI.

Tottenham made five substitutions during the match, indicating a desire to alter the game's course. However, like Monaco, these changes did not lead to a goal. Guglielmo Vicario's performance in goal was notable, as he played a crucial role in securing the clean sheet for Tottenham.

Guglielmo Vicario is Coral's Man of the Match for his outstanding performance in goal for Tottenham Hotspur. With 8 saves and 0 goals conceded, Vicario was instrumental in keeping a clean sheet against a determined Monaco side. His 2 clearances further highlight his contribution to the team's defensive effort, making him a deserving recipient of the award.
