RC Lens is in an unfortunate position. Consequence of his defeat conceded on Wednesday in the lair of PSV Eindhoven. Because by losing 1-0 in the Netherlands, the Sang et Or abandoned second in the group. The Lensois are certainly tied with the Dutch but are ahead of their main rival in the race for second place due to the direct confrontations.

A defeat could indeed mean elimination from the Champions League. Because if Lens loses in England while at the same time, PSV wins in Seville, the Artesian club will no longer be able to hope to secure second place.
