Real Madrid
On October 3, defending champions Real Madrid lost to French club Lille by 1-0. They completely failed to show their best version in this match. The defeat also saw Carlo Ancelotti’s men lose a game after losing 36 games to Atletico Madrid last January and a 15-game unbeaten run in the Champions League.
Endrik made his debut in this match for Real. He made his debut as the youngest player in Real Madrid history. He got a chance to make the day memorable at the start of the match but failed to capitalize on the opportunity. Mbappe was dropped in the second half on this day but he also came on. In this, the loss of Real is confirmed
This loss will not bode well for Real, they may take it as a wake up call. Because they didn’t get off to a good start in the first match against VfB Stuttgart at the Santiago Bernabeu with a last-minute goal, they lost this match. It made it a little difficult for them to qualify directly from the last 8 in the Champions League. Because in the next matches, Real is waiting for a tough opponent like Dortmund, AC Milan, Atlanta, Liverpool.
Lille
Lille were awarded a penalty in first-half stoppage time as Lille pressed Real relentlessly. Jonathan David made no mistake converting that penalty. Lille beat a Spanish team for the first time with his goal. Ayyoub Bouaddi is playing great in this match. He alone stopped Real’s best player Vinicius jr. Lucas Chevalier also made some excellent saves to deny Real victory.
With this win, Lille are 17th in the points table. But it will not be easy for them to go to the next round either. They will have to play against tough opponents in the next matches as well. They have to play with teams like Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Liverpool.
