Minamino makes history in French football.

Takumi Minamino continued to make his mark in the Monaco shirt in the 2024/25 season.

Minamino shone against Marseille.

In the early hours of April 13th, Minamino contributed one goal in Monaco's 3-0 victory over Marseille in the 29th round of Ligue 1. This goal placed him among the top three Japanese players with the most goals in Ligue 1 history, with 15 goals. He is level on goals with Keito Nakamura (Reims) and behind Daisuke Matsui (17 goals). Notably, Matsui announced his retirement in February 2024.

In Ligue 1 this season, Minamino has been involved in 8 goals for Monaco (5 goals and 3 assists). In Monaco's top scorer list in the domestic league, the former Liverpool striker is only behind Mika Biereth (12 goals).

After joining the team in the summer of 2022 from Liverpool, Minamino faced a nearly three-month goal drought, leading many to doubt his ability to adapt to Ligue 1. However, this season has seen the Japanese striker shine brightly.

Last month, Minamino extended his contract with Monaco until 2027. He said: "I want to stay here for as long as possible. The club has shown faith in me with this new contract. Monaco is a great club, always competing for European qualification every year. I like the city and the people here."

After 94 appearances for Monaco, Minamino scored 18 goals.

Japanese striker Daizen Maeda impressed at Celtic with a crucial defensive sprint in the 86th minute as Celtic led St Johnstone 6-0 in the sixth round of the Scottish Premiership.
