  • Balogun expressed that completing a full match significantly boosted both his physical condition and self-assurance, noting he initially felt some nervousness but has since gained full confidence.
  • Monaco's win kept them in contention for a Champions League place, with two rounds left and Monaco one point behind second-placed Marseille in Ligue 1.
