On the occasion of the return match of the eighth final which opposes it to Dortmund (1-1), Lille aims for a history qualification in the quarter-final of the Champions League.
In favorable toll after the draw obtained in Dortmund (1-1), the LOSC has the cards in hand to spin for the first time in its history in the quarter-finals of the Champions League. In a Pierre-Mauroy stadium which will be full as an egg, the Lille of Bruno Genesio have the opportunity to live a big evening in Europe. The Lille coach does not want to think of the stake: ” We must not have in mind that we can get into history and that it may be the most important match for the club. You just have to focus on what you have to do to achieve qualification “. And there are reasons to believe in it. At home, Lille shows a real solidity on the European scene with 10 victories on his last 12 games in Pierre-Mauroy (two draws). The last defeat of the Dogues in front of their audience dates back to 2022, during the round of 16 lost in front of Chelsea.
While the public will certainly have a big role to play this evening, the atmosphere to Pierre-Mauroy promises to be crazy. The groups of supporters also call for a real red tide, with a wink for the yellow wall of Dortmund: ” Here it will not be a wall, but an entire stadium that will be red! Wednesday all in red! It will take a stadium of the big evenings to sweep our opponent and access the 1/4 final of the largest of European competitions “.

And so as not to fix all this, the Germans have internal problems. During training, Julian Brandt and Jamie Bynoe Gittens had a violent altercation, symbol of a completely unstable group. The two players, sanctioned by the club should not be traveling to Lille.
