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.
