Champions League: at what time and on which channel to watch Liverpool-Lille?

A series will inevitably end. This Tuesday, January 21, for the return of the Champions League, LOSC travels to Liverpool (England) for the seventh day of the league phase. A tempting duel between the third in the French championship and the Premier League leader which has all the makings of a poster, given the recent form of the two teams.

Duel of the invincibles

The Mastiffs, first of all, are a surprise team in this first phase. With the exception of their inaugural defeat at Sporting Portugal (2-0), Bruno Genesio’s men have scored several significant victories, including that against Real Madrid (1-0) and on the pitch of Atlético (3- 1). Better, since this setback on September 17, Lille has not lost a single match, in all competitions (current series of 21 matches). During this period, they notably held off Juventus (1-1), allowing them to reach eighth place in the Champions League standings.

Liverpool have nothing to be ashamed of. THE Reds are perhaps “the best team in the world right now”described the Brentford coach on Saturday, the latest victim of a club that has become a winning machine. Leaders of the standings with 18 points, Arne Slot’s men have won all their Champions League matches since September – including a success against Real Madrid (2-0) – and are at the top of the English championship with 50 points taken from 63 possible. In these two competitions, only one team managed to bring down Mohamed Salah and his teammates: Nottingham (1-0), on September 14.
