Lille scored another victory on Wednesday evening (2-1) against Bologna while AS Monaco, reduced to ten, gave in to Benfica Lisbon (3-2) during the 5th day of the Champions League which saw Liverpool dominate Real Madrid (2-0) and consolidate their first place.
In Bologna, Lille were courageous until the end to record a third victory in the premier competition thanks to a double from Ngal’ayel Mukau (44th, 66th).
Bruno Genesio’s players, 12th, managed to hold on while Bologna pushed until the end of the match. With this victory, they move closer to qualifying for the Champions League play-offs.
At the end of a close and pleasant match which saw two goals refused, ASM, the other French club in contention on Wednesday evening, ended up cracking at the end of the match and was overthrown by Benfica.
Reduced to ten after the expulsion of Wilfried Singo, the Monegasques did not achieve the feat of stringing together a fourth victory and are now 8th in the standings.
They conceded their first defeat before moving to Arsenal.
After leading (2-1) thanks to Soungoutou Magassa and Eliesse Ben Seghir, Adi Hütter’s men were unable to do anything at the end of the match, particularly against Angel Di Maria, author of three assists.
In England, Liverpool (15 points) largely dominated Real Madrid at Anfield. Kylian Mbappé’s teammates, too discreet and who missed a penalty, barely existed and could have suffered a heavier defeat if Mohamed Salah had not also missed his penalty.
Real Madrid recorded its third defeat and is 24th in the standings, just ahead of PSG who lost Tuesday evening at Bayern Munich (1-0).
Fourth, Borussia Dortmund easily defeated Dynamo Zagreb (3-0), while Aston Villa drew (0-0) against Juventus, who avoided the worst at the very end of the match being the Morgan Rogers’ goal was ultimately canceled out.
Earlier in the evening, Sttugart – which Paris will meet again on the last day – collapsed against Red Star Belgrade (5-1), while Girona was beaten (1-0) by Sturm Graz.
