Atletico Madrid have qualified for the knockout stages of the Champions League with a dominant home victory over compatriot Thierry Henry.
Koke's deflected shot put Atletico ahead in the third minute.
Antoine Griezmann then managed the double with an elegant finish.
Radamel Falcao missed a late penalty for Monaco against his former club. Stefan Savic (Atletico) was sent off after receiving his second booking of the match to concede the penalty.
It was a trying experience for Henry, whose Monegasque team finally won his first victory under his guidance at Caen on Saturday. The penalty aside, they barely threatened against Diego Simeone's well-drenched outfit.
With only one point in five games, it seems unlikely that they will finish third and join the Europa League.
In Group D, Lokomotiv Moscow collected their first points of the campaign with a 2-0 home victory over Galatasaray.
This result means that the leaders of the group Porto and Schalke, second, will qualify for the last lap. Both teams will face Portugal at 20:00 GMT on Wednesday.
