Paris Saint Germain has maintained in its dominance in the French League for the last one decade. Since 2012 they have won 9 Ligue 1 Titles and are on the verge to win their 10th. However, there was a season when we witnessed something special. Very special. It was the 2016-17 Season wherein AS Monaco came from nowhere and won the Ligue 1 title. The world was shocked as well as happy to see them lift the trophy. 

It is interesting to note that apart from winning the Ligue 1 trophy, they also reached the semifinal stage of the UEFA Champions League. Every football fan will remember their game against Manchester City wherein they staged one of the biggest upsets. 

The Underdogs were well and truly kicking at the biggest stage. Unfortunately, the Transfer Summer of 2017 changed it all for bad as all their star players were bought by the top clubs of Europe. But still whenever we talk about the AS Monaco team of 2016-17 season there is a tear of joy.
