Impact Minamino found the net again Tuesday again after his sensational performance against Nantes. He was well set up by Breel Embolo to score his third goal in the Champions League this season. However, it was not enough to help his team qualify for the next round. He will try to build on this form against Lille on Saturday.

Contributes in three goals Minamino scored one goal and assisted twice from three shots and three chances created in Saturday's 7-1 victory versus Nantes.
Impact Minamino was impressive and his attacking runs were a problem the opposing defense simply couldn't solve. The Japanese star snapped a drought of 16 games between Ligue 1 and UCL matches in which he couldn't record a goal or an assist. He has two goals and three assists this season.

Quiet against Villa Minamino took an off target shot and created a chance during Tuesday's match against Aston Villa.
Impact Minamino was kept in check by Villa having just one real chance on goal during his 78 minutes on the pitch. All three of the attacker's goal involvements in the Champions League this season came in the same match in October.

Will miss Nantes game Minamino (illness) is set to miss Friday's match against Nantes, according to a report from Monaco Matin on Friday morning.
Impact Minamino will see his five-match streak of recording at least one shot per game come to an end due to an illness sustained late this week. While he has not contributed to a goal in his last nine matches, the midfielder has recently regained form, tallying 13 shots and creating four chances across his last five outings. Maghnes Akliouche is expected to step in as the attacking midfielder against Nantes, with Aleksandr Golovin sidelined due to an ankle discomfort.

Takes six shots in draw Minamino had six shots (one on target), created one chance and made three tackles (one won) and three clearances during Saturday's scoreless draw against Reims.
Impact Minamino returned to the starting XI after coming off the bench during midweek's UCL game and was very active up front, posting a season high in shots attempted. However, the accuracy in front of the net wasn't there for the attacker, who missed some clear chances to put his side ahead. Scoreless in league play since the season debut back in August, Minamino will have to do way better if he wants to have his starting spot locked up again.

Nets brace and assists in win Minamino scored two goals and assisted once from three shots and two chances created in Tuesday's 5-1 win versus Red Star Belgrade.
Impact Minamino put forth a man of the match performance Tuesday, scoring twice and supplying an assist as Monaco overran Red Star Belgrade in a 5-1 victory. The performance marked the veteran forward's best of the season in all competitions. Prior to this appearance, Minamino had scored just once and provided a single assist over nine appearances (eight starts) in all competitions.

Impact Minamino earned a goal contribution Sunday, assisting on Jordan Teze's goal in the ninth minute.

He was relatively quiet outside of his asset, with his one chance created being his only other significant stat.
