Eliminated from the race for the Champions League, RC Lens can however qualify for the Europa League play-offs. The reigning French vice-champions are third in their group before receiving Sevilla FC, the last, this Tuesday, at the Stade Bollaert. In an overheated stadium, the Sang et Or and Franck Haise allowed themselves to be dominated by the Andalusian team throughout the first period (31% ball possession, no ball touched in the opposing area!).
At half-time (0-0), Laure Boulleau, on the board of Channel Football Clubwas the first to comment on this poor spectacle: “ Lens is not there at all. It’s not easy to approach a match when you are told that a draw is enough to qualify. When I was a player, I didn’t really like this kind of context. The intensity of our Lensois, just there, they must be there in that sector. This is one of Lens’ worst periods, there’s not much to learn from it “.
The RCL only shot once on goal in 45 minutes (a very distant attempt by Elie Wahi) and, it is quite funny, the northern team shows zero in expected goals. “ I’ve never seen an expected goals at zero, it’s exceptional », added the former French international left-back who became a star consultant for the Canal+ sports department
