# 2013–14 AS Monaco FC season

The 2013–14 season was AS Monaco FC's first season back in Ligue 1 since relegation from Ligue 1 in 2011. They finished the season in second place, reached the semi-finals of the Coupe de France and the Third round of the Coupe de la Ligue.

## Season review

Monaco started the season with –2 points following crowd troubles at the end of the 2012–13 season.
Billionaire owner Dmitry Rybolovlev backed an incredible spending spree that saw the club spend close to €150 million in the summer transfer window, including around €50 million on Radamel Falcao. The spending spree meant that expectations were high for the club despite participating in Ligue 2 the season prior. The Monegasque had a great season in Ligue 1, finishing in second place behind Paris Saint-Germain. The second place meant the side qualified for the 2014–15 UEFA Champions League group stage after an extended absence from the competition.

* ↑ Paris Saint-Germain qualified for the Europa League third qualifying round by winning the 2013–14 Coupe de la Ligue. However, since they already qualified for European competition based on their league position, the spots awarded to the cup winners were passed down the league.
* ↑ Monaco were deducted 2 points due to poor fan behavior in a match last season. However this was overturned on 13 August 2013.
