Twenty gods.
LOSC will undoubtedly remember this January evening at the Vélodrome for a long time. Firstly because the Mastiffs struck a major blow by winning on penalties against OM (1-1, 3 TAB 4) to make their way to the round of 16 of the Coupe de France. That’s not all: Lille broke a 50-year-old record by signing a 20e match in a row without losing, doing better than the series of 19 matches in the 1973-1974 season.
No defeat since September 17
Bruno Genesio’s team has been undefeated since September 17, four months without losing, the last being the one suffered at Sporting Portugal in the Champions League. Since then, LOSC has met Real Madrid, Atlético de Madrid, Juventus in the European Cup, but also Lyon, Monaco, Nice and even OM twice on the national scene without ever losing.
“There is a lot of joy, I hope on the 21ste ce week-endmodestly rejoiced Genesio at the microphone of Bein Sports after the qualifier. Apart from the series, what was important was to qualify, and the draw had not spoiled us. It is both a very good performance, and we eliminate a competitor for a possible final victory. »
The rest of the program? The Nice reception and a trip to Liverpool. Not even afraid.
Get off the ground, management gentlemen!
