VETERAN BULGARIAN DIMITAR Berbatov scored a brace as Monaco warmed up for a decisive Champions League date with a 2-0 win away to Toulouse in Ligue 1 last night.
A typically classy finish Berbatov put the principality club ahead on the stroke of half-time at Le Stadium and the former Manchester United man then converted a penalty in the second half as Monaco climbed provisionally up to seventh in the table.
Leonardo Jardim’s side have spent most of the season playing catch-up with their rivals at the top of Ligue 1 but this win is a timely boost ahead of Tuesday’s home Champions League clash with Zenit St Petersburg, in which a draw will be enough to take them through to the last 16.
