9
Lille and Real Madrid have never faced each other on the European stage. LOSC has only won one of its 9 matches in major European competition against Spanish teams (3 draws, 5 defeats), but it was in the last one: 2-1 in Seville during the League of Champions 2021/22.
0
Real Madrid have lost and failed to score in their last 2 away matches in the Champions League against French teams, each time against Paris SG in 2019 (0-3) and 2022 (0-1 ).
8
Lille have won 7 of their 8 home matches on the European stage since the start of last season, the only exception being a 1-1 draw against Sturm Graz in the 2023/24 Europa Conference League.
14
Real Madrid are unbeaten in their last 14 Champions League matches (10 wins, 4 draws), their longest unbeaten run since April 2016-May 2017 (15).
3
Lille have lost their last 3 Champions League matches (2 losses in the round of 16 in 2021/22, and 1 on the first day this season). LOSC could equal their longest losing streak in the competition established in 2012/13, when Lille lost their first four matches that season.
6,4
Among the teams having played the last 2 editions of the Champions League (2023/24 and 2024/25), Real Madrid is the team having been behind during the lowest percentage of its total playing time (6.4% ). In just under 1,400 minutes played during this period, Carlo Ancelotti’s team was only behind for 90 minutes and 2 seconds in total.
39
Luka Modric became the first 39-year-old to play a Champions League match for Real Madrid, assisting the second goal after coming on as a substitute. Modric and Endrick – the latter making his debut in the competition at 18 years old – had a difference of 20 years and 315 days during this match, the largest gap between 2 Real Madrid players during a LdC match.

Endrick scored on his Champions League debut for Real Madrid after coming on as a substitute against Stuttgart on Matchday 1. At the age of 18 years and 73 days on the day of this match against Lille, he could become the youngest player to score in his first 2 appearances in the competition, the record currently being held by Karim Benzema (18 years and 281 days in 2006 with Lyon).

Since the return of Carlo Ancelotti to the Real Madrid bench in 2021/22, Vinicius Júnior is the player with the most minutes in the Champions League (3165), being involved in the most goals (32), having scored the most dribbles (119) and gave the most last passes before a shot (71) over the period.
6
Edon Zhegrova completed 6 dribbles against Sporting on Matchday 1, equaling the highest total for a Lille player in his first Champions League start (also 6 for Abdul Kader Keita v Anderlecht in September 2006).
