Could Lille be the new target for the Spaniards to take down? The day after LOSC’s victory against Atlético de Madrid on the pitch at the Estadio Metropolitano, it would very well be possible.
And not only because of this famous penalty which caused so much reaction in the press and on social networks. In the Champions League, LOSC can now boast of having beaten both Madrid teams. After the historic victory against Real Madrid at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium (1–0), Bruno Genesio’s men took the scalp of Atlético this Wednesday evening (1-3).
Two streaks of invincibility broken
Beyond the historic victories, Lille are above all putting an end to two series of invincibility. Before falling in the North, Real Madrid remained on a series of 36 games without defeat in all competitions. Victorious in La Liga and the Champions League last season, he had not lost since a Copa del Rey match against Atlético on January 18 (2-4, ap).
And since breaking the series of the most successful club in the competition did not seem to be enough for these hungry Lille, they also put an end to Atlético’s hegemony at home in the European Cup. In the Champions League, the club had not lost on home soil since November 24, 2021, hung 0-1 by AC Milan, with seven wins and four draws. Two statistics which may not please the French Federation of Lose.
To top it off, LOSC became the first French club to beat the two Madrid clubs in the European Cup in the same season. Not bad, right? It’s northern.

**Interview with Football Analyst Javier Torres on LOSC’s Recent Triumphs**
**Editor:** Today, we have Javier Torres, a renowned football analyst, joining us to discuss LOSC Lille’s incredible performance in the Champions League, particularly their recent victories against Atlético Madrid and Real Madrid. Thank you for being here, Javier!
**Javier Torres:** Thank you for having me! It’s exciting times for Lille fans.
**Editor:** Lille secured a remarkable 3-1 victory against Atlético Madrid after previously beating Real Madrid 1-0. What do you think has been the key to their success against such formidable opponents?
**Javier Torres:** I think it all comes down to their tactical discipline and the ability to capitalize on key moments. Bruno Genesio has instilled a strong work ethic, and the players are executing the game plan to perfection. Their defense has been solid, which is crucial against top-tier teams.
**Editor:** Beyond the victories, these wins have broken significant streaks of invincibility for both Madrid teams. How important is that for Lille’s confidence moving forward in the tournament?
**Javier Torres:** Winning against teams that hadn’t lost in over 30 games definitely boosts their confidence. It sends a message not only to Lille but to other teams in the competition that they can compete with the best. This can change the mentality of the squad as they look to progress further in the Champions League.
**Editor:** There’s been discussion about whether Lille could be targeted by Spanish teams in the upcoming matches. Do you think they’ll face any backlash or extra pressure now that they’ve established themselves as a threat?
**Javier Torres:** Absolutely, now that Lille has proven themselves, they may become a target. Spanish teams will likely analyze their game closely, looking for weaknesses. However, if Lille can maintain their form and adapt to opponents’ strategies, they could continue to surprise everyone.
**Editor:** What do you think Lille needs to focus on in their next matches to maintain this momentum?
**Javier Torres:** They need to keep their defensive structure intact while also improving their possession play. Balancing attack and defense is crucial. Moreover, the players need to stay focused and not get overconfident because that can lead to mistakes against lower-ranked teams.
**Editor:** Thank you, Javier, for your insights! It’s clear Lille is on a remarkable run, and football fans are eager to see what’s next for them in the Champions League.
**Javier Torres:** My pleasure! It’s an exciting time for European football, and I can’t wait to see how the rest of the season unfolds.
