AS Monaco clinch historic Euroleague Playoff qualification after ALBA loss
Reigning Eurocup champion made it to the next round in their rookie season
Efes comeback win over ALBA Berlin means that AS Monaco has also clinched a Playoff ticket in its first ever season in the Euroleague: as the 2021 Eurocup champions hold a 2-0 tiebreaker advantage over both Bayern and Crvena Zvezda, they’re safe from any possible 2 or 3-team tie in the standings. A stunning result for Monaco, who becomes the first team since Bilbao in 2012 to reach the Euroleague Quarterfinals in its maiden season in the competition
