Already winners over Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid in the Champions League, LOSC scored another victory on Wednesday evening on the pitch in Bologna. A pride for Bruno Genesio.
Like Brest and Monaco, Lille is having a superb Champions League campaign. After five days, Bruno Genesio's team is in 12th place in the standings. Virtually qualified for the play-off, the Mastiffs are enjoying their victory in Bologna, their third of the regular season after successes against Atlético de Madrid and Real Madrid. At a press conference after his team's victory in Italy, Bruno Genesio did not hide his pride… nor his surprise. Because the former coach of OL and Rennes admits, he did not think before the start of the season that he would achieve such a journey in Europe.
Bruno Genesio amazed by his team
“It's beyond our expectations, because we had to go through two rounds with four matches from August, we know the difficulty of doing it, since few French teams have already achieved it, and especially after the draw we had, the hardest I think with the one in Paris. I don't think there are many people who would have bet on us having ten points after five days. But when I look back on the journey we have made since the start of the season and the individual and collective evolution of my team, I am not necessarily surprised. Let's keep this state of mind » underlined Bruno Genesio, extremely proud of his team which knows how to juggle between competitions for the moment, performing well in Ligue 1 and the Champions League. Four days after their success in Bologna, the Mastiffs will be in Montpellier on Sunday afternoon to try to get on the Ligue 1 podium, hoping to benefit at the same time from the clash between OM and Monaco.
