The defender interrupted his unthinkable scoring streak at Louis II against Nice in another celebration of the unstoppable Monegasque aiming for the Champions League.
Guillermo Maripán is unstoppable. Since they grabbed a starting jersey, there is no way to stop Monaco in Ligue 1. The team led by Niko Kovac left doubts behind and with this Wednesday’s triumph, against Nice in the Côte d’Azur Derby, they chained a streak of eight games without defeats in Ligue 1. In that succession of positive results, only Saint-Étienne was able to rescue a draw against the Monegasque, who this time won 2-1 with a double by Wissam Ben Yedder (discount from Pierre Lees- Melou). The Chilean defender did not score and it is a novelty, since during January he punished rival networks four times and formed a kind of unusual scorer ‘cult’.

After his celebrations against Lorient, Angers, Marseille and Nantes (he only missed a goal against Montpellier in the first month of the year), the Memo has established itself as a starter. But in a complicated task, with a Badiashile leaving doubts and being replaced by Disasi, the former Catholic University assumed the leadership of the last line and transferred its guarantees to Lecomte, the undisputed of the arc. The doubts were assuaged by the former Sevilla surprising everyone with a bomb that Volland brought about and a soft touch before a free kick in favor.
In strict terms of numbers, Maripán tested his head twice before the captain’s first -via penalty-, but this time he did not find the goal of Argentine Walter Benítez and his shots from the center of the area were deflected by a short distance. In addition to making contact with the ball up to 67 times, he added a tackle, fouled Kasper Dolberg in a clash of giants and entered correctly 48 of the 55 passes he attempted.
With Nimes on the horizon, the Association Sportive looks at the table of the French league with a touch of tranquility: it reached 45 points in fourth place, eight more than Rennes, and is 3 behind PSG, the last classified in the next Champions League at the moment. They are 4 from Lyon and 6 from Lille, although the rebound of Kovac and the cast keeps him in such a state that the leader, who directs Galtier and who wants to strike at the end of the campaign, can hardly match. Just like Maripán, who excites the Chilean National Team today more than ever with continuity and a high presence in the Principality.
