After surprising all of Europe by beating Real Madrid (1-0) at the beginning of October, LOSC is preparing for a new major challenge. This Wednesday evening, the Mastiffs face Atlético Madrid in the Champions League. Building on the confidence acquired after this feat, Bruno Genesio’s team wants to repeat the performance against the other Madrid giant.
However, the northern coach warns, “it would be a serious mistake to arrive with too much certainty”, remembering that the Colchoneros are formidable opponents, especially at home. But the Lille coach intends to take advantage of the momentum given by the victory against the Merengues, despite the absence of several starters.
