There was the whole LOSC, monstrous this Wednesday evening in this rescue, while Real Madrid pushed furiously, planning to try to equalize.
A save on the line from Tiago Santos, preferred to Thomas Meunier and impressive throughout the match, in front of Antonio Rüdiger and another save just behind from Lucas Chevalier against Jude Bellingham (86e). The goalkeeper was again decisive in the process ahead of Rüdiger then again Luka Modric (90e).
There is no explanation. We gave everything on the pitch, we fought like warriors.”
A very high level performance, worthy of this memorable evening for the LOSC goalkeeper but it was all of Lille who were decisive in their defensive commitment, an impressive collective effort that was both intense and disciplined to contain Vinicius Jr, never really dangerous, and his cronies. Even the entry of Kylian Mbappé, from 57e minute, nothing has changed.
Genesio rewarded for its strategy
To close the spaces for the Madrilenians, Bruno Genesio opted for a four-man defense and a dense, compact 4-4-2 which transformed into a low block at the end of the match. The Lille coach was rewarded for his strategy. His defenders responded: Tiago Santos to disgust Vinicius Jr, with the regular support of Edon Zhegrova, who came to help him regularly, or Alexsandro who gave as much as he could on this tackle to bother Bellingham (15e).
