Present in the Champions League last year after finishing in 2nd place in Ligue 1 in 2018-2019, Lille was not able to perform well. Not at the level, the LOSC took only ‘one point in 6 games and therefore logically finished in the last place in his group behind Valencia, Chelsea and Ajax. In the league, the Mastiffs had a consistent season but missed the Champions League by a small point when there were ten days to go when the season was definitively interrupted. Very interesting since the resumption, the Northerners are still unbeaten (5 wins and 3 draws) in Ligue 1. 2nd in the standings, they remain on a good point brought back from Nice last Sunday (1-1). During the first day of the Europa League, Lille easily won on the lawn of Sparta Prague (1-4).
Last year, Celtic Glasgow won yet another national league title after overtaking Rangers in the second half of the season. This allowed the team to play the play-offs for the Champions League but the Glasgow players did not pass the obstacle Ferencvaros, like last season. Subsequently, they took out Riga (0-1) then Sarajevo (0-1) to qualify for this C3 group stage. In the league, Neil Lennon’s men are currently 2nd in the standings. Less to their advantage since the international break, they remain on a loss against the Rangers (0-2) and a draw in Aberdeen last weekend (3-3). Last week, Celtic lost their first Europa League game at home against AC Milan (1-3).
