Recently, the 19th round of the Ligue 1 continued, facing the relegation team Bordeaux, Lille fell into a bitter battle. With two attempts behind, Lille relied on goals from Benjamin Andre, Ilmaz and Jonathan David to come back 3-2 and the defending champions avoided big upsets.
Lille achieved a miracle last season, beating Paris Saint-Germain by one point, and once again won the ligue 1 after 10 years, winning the league title for the fifth time in the history of the team. This season, Lille played in the Champions League as a seeded team, drawing 2 and losing 1 in the first 3 rounds of the group stage, and was once on the verge of being out.
Fortunately, Lille woke up in time and won three consecutive wins in the second round to advance to the round of 16 as the first in the group and face defending champions Chelsea in the quarter-finals. However, Lille is not optimistic, and their odds for winning the title are 1/251, ranking third from the bottom and are regarded as a big package.
Qualifying for the Champions League gave Lille the impetus to return to the league and they are unbeaten for 3 rounds. The 3-2 match allowed Lille to win five straight against Bordeaux, scoring 12 goals and conceding only 1 goal during the game. The last time Lille lost to Bordeaux was in 2018, when they lost 1-0 away.
In addition, Lille has remained unbeaten in seven consecutive league rounds, winning 3 and drawing 4 to score 19 points, and although it is currently ranked 8th in the table, it is only 5 points away from the Champions League zone, and there is still hope of catching up.
Meanwhile, 21-year-old Jonathan David continued to erupt, contributing 12 goals in 19 Ligue 1 appearances, topping the top scorers list. The Canada international is the 2nd most goalscored in the top five leagues this season, just one goal less than Haaland. In addition, Jonathan David scored 11 more goals than Messi, and the advantage is obvious, and the big Paris superstar wants to get the Ligue 1 Golden Boot very difficult.
