UEFA Champions League All competitions Lille and Real Madrid have never previously faced off in European competition; LOSC have only won one of their last nine major European meetings with Spanish sides (D3 L5), although that was their most recent, a 2-1 win at Sevilla in this competition in 2021-22. Real Madrid have lost both of their last two UEFA Champions League away games against French sides without scoring, both against PSG in 2019 (0-3) and 2022 (0-1). Lille have won seven of their eight home games in European competition since the start of last season, the only exception being a 1-1 draw with Sturm Graz in last season’s UEFA Conference League. Real Madrid are unbeaten in their last 14 UEFA Champions League matches (W10 D4). They last had a longer unbeaten run between April 2016 and May 2017 (15 in a row). Lille have lost their last three UEFA Champions League matches (both last 16 games in 2021-22, MD1 this season). Only once have they lost four in a row, losing their first four games in the 2012-13 campaign. Among teams to have been involved in the last two UEFA Champions League campaigns (2023-24 and 2024-25), Real Madrid have trailed for the lowest percentage of their total match time (6. 4%). Across just under 1, 400 minutes of match time in this period, Carlo Ancelotti’s side have only been behind for 90 minutes and two seconds overall. Luka Modric became the first 39-year-old to appear in the UEFA Champions League for Real Madrid, coming on as a sub against Stuttgart and assisting their second goal. Also coming on for his debut was 18-year-old Endrick, with Modric and Endrick separated in age by 20 years and 315 days – the biggest gap between two players playing for Real Madrid in a UEFA Champions League game. 18-year-old Endrick scored on his UEFA Champions League debut for Real Madrid as a late substitute against Stuttgart on MD1. At the age of 18 years and 73 days on the day of this game, he could be the youngest player to score in his first two Champions League appearances; the current youngest is Karim Benzema (18 years, 281 days in 2006 with Lyon). Since Carlo Ancelotti returned to Real Madrid ahead of the 2021-22 campaign, Vinícius Júnior leads all players in the UEFA Champions League for minutes played (3, 165), combined goals and assists (32), completed dribbles (119) and chances created (71) in this period. Edon Zhegrova completed six dribbles against Sporting CP on MD1; a joint-record by a player on their first UEFA Champions League start for Lille (also six by Abdul Kader Keita – v Anderlecht in September 2006). © 2024 BBC.
