First, I would like to talk about the Stade Louis II. Stade Louis II is the home ground for the one of the famous football club in the world, AS Monaco. They compete in the Ligue 1 (France’s first division league) and they are reigning champion. The club is historically one of the most successful clubs in the French league, having won Ligue 1 eight times (most recently in 2016–17) and competed at the top level for all but six seasons since 1953.In 2004, the club reached the final of the UEFA Champion League (the league for all the top football club in Europe) but unfortunately they lost to FC Porto (a Portuguese club) 3-0. Many international stars have played for the club, such as French World Cup-winners Thierry Henry, Fabien Barthez and David Trezeguet.
