[Champions League] Even without Mbappe, Real's firepower is frightening, Lille's home record in Europe is excellent.
The "Dogues" have not had the best start to the new Ligue 1 campaign, currently sitting in fifth place in the table. In six matches, they have already lost twice. While the home defeat to PSG surprised few, dropping points away to Saint-Étienne was certainly not in the coaching staff's plans.
In the first round of the Champions League group stage, Lille traveled to Lisbon, where they lost 0-2 to Sporting. Following that defeat, Lille played two league matches, drawing 3-3 at home against Strasbourg and earning a comfortable 3-0 victory away at Le Havre.Los Blancos are rightfully considered favorites in this tournament, given their record number of Champions League titles. Carlo Ancelotti's side approaches the Lille clash fresh off a dramatic Madrid derby. Last Sunday, Real Madrid visited Atlético Madrid, allowing their rivals to equalize in the 90+5th minute, settling for a 2-2 draw.
This result marks the third draw for Real in their first eight league matches, which has allowed Barcelona to take the top spot in La Liga, now three points ahead of Real Madrid. The gap would have been larger if not for Barcelona's shocking defeat to Osasuna. In their first Champions League match, Real Madrid hosted Stuttgart and won 3-1.
