A new dream poster for Lille in the Champions League. After losing against Sporting Portugal, Lille created the feat at home against the great Real Madrid. This Wednesday evening, Bruno Genesio’s players will face the other club from the Spanish capital,Atletico Madrid. For this poster, the coach of the northern club will be able to count on a group decimated by injuries and absences. Indeed, no less than eleven players are unavailable: Samuel Umtiti (knee), Tiago Santos (knee), Ismaily (meniscus), Mitchel Bakker (abdominals), Nabil Bentaleb (convalescence), Ayyoub Bouaddi (calf), Ethan Mbappé ( quadriceps) and Hakon Arnar Haraldsson (foot) are injured.

Despite the numerous packages, Bruno Genesio intends to create the feat in Madrid: “It’s a match where we have everything to gain because Atlético Madrid are favorites. We are going to put things in place to be well organized. I want to see my team play with all their strength when they have the ball”.
The tribute to Griezmann
On the sidelines of this major Champions League poster, Bruno Genesio praised the qualities of the Colchoneros squad before paying tribute to the Frenchman Antoine Griezmann: “There are a lot of very good players in this team. If we only focus on Antoine (Griezmann), others will be able to make the difference. Our plan is more of a collective plan than an individual one. Antoine is a legend because that he is a very great player, but also because of what he exudes through his personality. I think that here, we also like players who are dedicated to the team, which is the case with Antoine C’. is an exceptional individual talent at the service of the team”.
An opinion widely shared by Diego Simeone, the coach of Atlético Madrid. “Antoine offered France and its selection all his talent, his football and his leadership.
