What a feat! Two weeks after having missed its entry into contention in the queen of European competitions on the grounds of Sporting, in Lisbon (2-0 defeat), Losc was able to bounce back by offering itself neither more nor less than the outgoing European champion : the great Real Madrid of a certain Kylian Mbappé.
With nerve, without complexes, the Mastiffs showed themselves to be irreverent enough to seize their chance against the Merengue armada, thanks to a penalty converted before the break by Jonathan David who earlier in the game had hit wood ( 1-0.45e+2). A consecutive one-handed penalty kick in the area from a very unfortunate Eduardo Camavinga for his first outing of the season.
Impassable Knight
Certainly less enterprising upon returning from the locker room, Lille did not suffer too much, not even when the captain of the Blues – Mbappé – finally appeared on the pitch at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium shortly before the hour mark. the White House did indeed push at the end of the match, Chevalier held the house until the end, imperial on his goal line.
Losc can ultimately be all the more proud as Real had not lost in an official match since January 18, i.e. 36 duels without conceding the slightest setback. And the Northerners move into the good part of the table, at the level of PSG, at 18e step. A rank synonymous with play-offs to reach the round of 16 this winter.
