George Ilenikhena - Reserve goal during upset Ilenikhena scored one goal on two shots (one on goal) across 31 minutes during Monaco's 2-1 win Thursday against Barcelona.

Impact Since signing with Monaco, Ilenikhena has been a reserve. But also, it has used him for every game, including the Monaco team's UCL opener Thursday. Ilenikhena used his reserve appearance to log Monaco's game-winning goal, resulting in an upset win in favor of the French team. Even with it stacked in forward depth, he will look to make his way up, which should be much more possible now after the game-winner against Barcelona.

Wilfried Singo - Attempts six crosses Singo attempted six crosses during Monaco's 2-1 win Thursday against Barcelona.

Impact Singo attempting six crosses Thursday is surprising, considering he never logged more than five of them during Monaco's 2023-24 season. After logging 21 crosses across 25 appearances then, the defender could potentially return to his Torino roots, considering he averaged more than a cross per season for three consecutive campaigns before joining Monaco.

Maghnes Akliouche - UCL debut results in goal Akliouche scored one goal during Monaco's 2-1 win Thursday against Barcelona.

Monaco's 2023-24 season included him breaking out with seven goals in Ligue 1. Akliouche was one of five players during that campaign to score that many goals in domestic-league action for Monaco, and now that most of the five are not with Monaco, expectations are high for him to step up his scoring in all competitions. In that regard, he is off to a strong start.

The assist was the first of the season for Zakaria while he's now scored in back-to-back fixtures, starting each of Monaco's four Ligue 1 matches to begin the season.

Impact Majecki will take more time to recover than initially expected, as he was supposed to be an option this week but will now miss a further two to four weeks. This a tough loss for the club, as he is expected to be their regular starter. That said, expect Phillipp Kohn to remain in the starting role until Majecki is fit, likely coming sometime in October.
