Engaged in a record series of invincibility, LOSC was not far from the misstep against OGC Nice, a duel that its men finally won (2-1). The Lille performance was a source of compliments on The L’Équipe Channel.
But where will they stop? Manhandled in 2025, the Mastiffs woke up this week with successes against Olympique de Marseille (1-1, 3-4 tab), in the Coupe de France, and OGC Nice (2-1), to get on the podium. However, everything was not a foregone conclusion as the Aiglons had made them their prey during the first act. It was then, upon returning from the locker room, that everything was swept away. Conqueror, LOSC overthrew their opponent from Nice in 45 minutes before raising their arms. His men are now in 21 consecutive matches without a setback in all competitions.
Present inside the Decathlon Arena – Stade Pierre Mauroy, Giovanni Castaldi gave his good points: “In the first half, I found that it lacked a little intensity. There was a lot of waste on the technical side. Nice generally did the job. I liked the start of the Niçois and the quality of Jonathan Clauss, even if it got worse later.
I liked the intensity shown by Lille upon returning from the locker room. She was remarkable. I've seen a lot of function overflows. On a purely technical level, we could find things to complain about, but LOSC was exceptional in its reaction and self-sacrifice in intensity, like Benjamin André. I was amazed by their reaction. It was a great Ligue 1 match with suspense”he judged thus, from the final whistle.
“There is Lucas Chevalier who makes two amazing saves”

Around the stage, Grégory Schneider takes over:
“They increased the intensity slider and there is an efficiency side in Lille, but not in Nice, which nevertheless had the match points. But if you don't put them against Lille, you take the blow behind you. And then, the Niçois no longer had any chances. What struck me was that
the intensity put in prevents the opponent from having situations. That's what we saw in the second half and it's very impressive. And then, there is Lucas Chevalier who makes two amazing saves. It’s still been going on for five months.”continued the journalist from
Liberation.
Finally, Raymond Domenech concluded by highlighting, in his eyes, the greatest quality of LOSC: “On all the teams that meet Lille, it's the physical intensity, this ability to make efforts, that's what puts them in difficulty. Lille is a solid team, which provides the most security. She is always present and imposes this athletic aspect which hurts”launched the former coach of the France team.
