Lille Stuns Real Madrid with 1-0 Champions League Victory

Lille secured a historic 1-0 win over reigning European champions Real Madrid in the Champions League, thanks to Jonathan David’s penalty just before halftime.

The Canadian striker converted from the spot in first-half stoppage time, securing a deserved victory for Lille before a sell-out crowd at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

Lille dominated the match, but had to withstand late pressure from Real Madrid, who saw their 36-game unbeaten run end.

Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe returned from injury as a substitute, but couldn’t change the outcome.

The new 36-team Champions League format allows for errors, but Lille’s win boosts their confidence after a 2-0 loss to Sporting Lisbon.

Upcoming fixtures will test Real Madrid, with matches against Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan, and Liverpool.

For Lille, this victory ranks among their finest European results, with midfielder Ayyoub Bouaddi impressing on his 17th birthday.

Real Madrid’s young striker Endrick made history as the youngest player to start a Champions League game for the club, but Lille’s Lucas Chevalier denied him with crucial saves.

Lille’s win proves significant, but Real Madrid’s Champions League experience and talent suggest they will recover.
