AS Monaco recorded its 1000th victory in its history in the top flight by winning against Nantes as part of the 3rd match-day of Ligue 1 (2-1). A historic success played out under the eyes of President Dmitry Rybolovlev.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A thousand and counting. On Sunday evening in Monaco\u2019s Louis II stadium, AS Monaco beat FC Nantes 2-1, securing the 1000th win of its 62 years in Ligue 1. It is a milestone that a handful of French clubs can boast about: along with AS Monaco, only Olympique de Marseille, Bordeaux and AS Saint Etienne have crossed the 1000 victories count. Dmitry Rybolovlev, who is in his 10th season as AS Monaco President, watched the match from his private box in the Louis II stadium. The match also marked the 800th match of Cesc Fabregas<\/a>\u2019 career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Interviewed by Nice Matin last June, to this day the last time Rybolovlev talked to the press, the President of AS Monaco said that he was \u201cstarting a new chapter\u201d and that he wanted \u201cto secure new victories\u201d. Dmitry Rybolovlev also expressed how fond he was of the team: \u201cAS Monaco represents a large part of me and my life. I have been responsible for this for almost nine years. It\u2019s not just a financial investment, it\u2019s also a lot of time, effort and emotion.\u201d He also dismissed rumours that he intended to sell the club. \u201cI know that there are sometimes rumours about my intentions to sell Monaco<\/a>. We\u2019ve always denied them; I believe in the club\u2019s sporting project. I\u2019m still the shareholder and President of the club. I take care of its development and invest in its future,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
