After its initial defeat in the Champions League, Lille rectified the situation by offering itself two prestigious successes against Real Madrid (1-0) and its neighbor Atletico (2-1).
It is now another big piece, Juventus Turin, which Bruno Genesio’s players receive on Tuesday November 5.
At what time and on which channel to follow this match of the fourth day?
Never two without three? Brilliant winners – albeit with a touch of success – of Real Madrid (1-0) and Atletico Madrid (2-1), Lille want to continue their rise in the Champions League standings. Currently 15th in the general ranking, with 6 points, they can already almost secure a play-off place (between 8th and 24th position) in the event of another victory against Juventus Turin, who they welcome this Tuesday November 5 (9 p.m.), at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium.
Although they are largely diminished by numerous injuries, Benjamin André’s teammates have shown that they have the mental and footballing resources to continue to perform. They have not lost since their first match in C1 against Sporting Portugal (0-2), on September 17.
For its part, Juventus Turin begins a new cycle under the leadership of former Parisian Thiago Motta. The ex-Bologna coach has already put his stamp on his team by injecting a lot of youth into it and advocating a less stereotypical, more modern game, based on effective pressing and significant ball possession. In terms of results, the “Old Lady” still remains, for the moment, on alternating current – 5 draws and 1 defeat in the last ten matches – so much so that the Northerners clearly have their chance, in front of their public.
So will Bruno Genesio’s protégés confirm their great dynamic on the European scene and maintain the good form of French clubs in continental competitions? Answer this Tuesday November 5, from 9 p.m., live on Canal+ Foot.
