PARIS (AP) " French league leader Monaco prepared for its Champions League showdown with Manchester City by beating Bordeaux 2-1, a win overshadowed by an injury to top scorer Radamel Falcao on Saturday. The ball dipped at the last moment," Bordeaux goalkeeper Cedric Carrasso said. Moutinho's goals for Monaco are as rare as they are for Portugal, and this was only his eighth in 117 league games. Next week in the Champions League, Monaco has to overturn a 5-3 deficit from the first leg to advance, and will need goalkeeper Danijel Subasic to start concentrating again. After a Monaco attack broke down, Bordeaux hopefully lofted the ball forward.
