The incredible statistics of Lens in the Champions League

According to a ranking published this Thursday, RC Lens represents the smallest city present in the Champions League this season.

Tuesday, the RC Lens proved, if he needed it, that his place was indeed in the Champions League. After a heroic draw snatched on the lawn of the Sevilla FCthe Blood and Gold won against Arsenal in a melting Félix-Bollaert Stadium at the end of a successful performance and a scenario worthy of the greatest European evenings.

Lens “little thumb” in the Champions League

Leader of its group after two days, the northern club knows that it will still have to fight to qualify for the round of 16. And if it is one of the outsider clubs in the premier competition, the RCL is also the smallest city to be represented in the Champions League this season. According to a ranking published by The Sweeper this Thursday, Lens is, with 30,413 inhabitants, the least populated city whose club is playing in C1 this season.

In the top 10 of the “smallest” cities present in the European Cup this season, where we also find Villarreal (51,113 inhabitants), Lens is the 6th smallest city. Enough to make the exploits of Franck Haise in the competition even more beautiful.
