In the summer of 2018, Lille was on a roll as they went from being a mediocre side in the league to one that could make a statement in the Champions League.
The team had just won their first game of the season against AS Saint-Etienne and then followed it up with a victory over Nice. However, it wasn't until the last few weeks of the season that things really started to come together for the Lille men.
After winning three consecutive matches, they were able to secure a spot in the Champions League group stage. The team's form improved significantly as they began to dominate the opposition and start to dominate the table.
However, this didn't stop at just the Champions League; they also managed to secure a spot in the Europa League group stage after defeating FC Dinamo Zagreb. The team continued to perform well throughout the season and even managed to win two more games in the Europa League before losing to Manchester United in the final match of the competition.
Despite the challenges faced by the team during the season, there is no doubt that they have shown great potential and can be expected to continue making significant contributions to the league next season. With new signings and improvements made to the squad, the future looks bright for the Lille men.
