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.

How does Lille’s victory over Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid influence their strategy in upcoming matches?
**Interview with Sports Analyst Jessica Morales on LOSC Lille’s Recent Champions League Success**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Jessica. Lille OSC has just achieved remarkable victories over both Real Madrid and Atlético Madrid in the Champions League. What does this mean for the team’s reputation moving forward?
**Jessica Morales:** Thank you for having me! These wins are monumental for Lille. They not only establish the club as a serious contender in European football but also boost their confidence significantly. Beating two La Liga giants demonstrates that Lille can compete at the highest levels and could potentially change the narrative around them in both domestic and international realms.
**Interviewer:** Particularly interesting is Lille’s ability to break two long-standing streaks of invincibility. What impact does this have psychologically on the players and the team as a whole?
**Jessica Morales:** Breaking such streaks is a massive psychological boost. It shows the players that they can overcome previously unbeatable opponents, which enhances their self-belief. This collective confidence can lead to better performances in the future, as they’ve proven they can win against top-tier teams. They will carry this momentum into their next matches, and it can set the tone for the rest of the Champions League campaign.
**Interviewer:** The recent match against Atlético Madrid had a controversial penalty incident. How do you think this will affect the narrative surrounding Lille’s victories?
**Jessica Morales:** Controversial moments tend to dominate headlines, but in the grand scheme of things, Lille’s performance, particularly in such a crucial match, will be the focal point. While the penalty may spark debates, it ultimately showcases Lille’s resilience and ability to capitalize on critical moments. If they continue to perform consistently, those controversies will fade and be overshadowed by their accomplishments.
**Interviewer:** What does this mean for Lille’s aspirations in the ongoing Champions League campaign?
**Jessica Morales:** With these victories, Lille is certainly on the right path. They have already shown they can compete with the best, and if they maintain their form and composure, they could make a deep run in the tournament. This could also influence their strategy in upcoming matches, possibly adopting a more aggressive approach against future opponents.
**Interviewer:** Looking forward, who do you think could be Lille’s next target in the Champions League?
**Jessica Morales:** Given their recent performances, I wouldn’t be surprised if they set their sights on teams with a similar stature to Atlético or even higher. They will be viewed as a team not to be underestimated. Lille should approach each match with the mindset that they can take down any opponent, a mentality that can take them far in the competition.
**Interviewer:** Thank you, Jessica. Exciting times ahead for Lille OSC!
**Jessica Morales:** Absolutely! Thank you for having me.
