Lille Set Sights on European Football After Bordeaux Victory
Lille are in prime position to secure a European spot next season after a vital 2-0 win against Bordeaux on Saturday, which propelled them to seventh place in Ligue 1. With five matches remaining, the club’s aspirations are clear—qualifying for European competition.
Sofiane Boufal played a key role in Lille’s victory, providing two assists that helped guide the team to a crucial win. The former Angers player spoke confidently after the match, outlining the team’s goals for the remainder of the season. “Yes, the goal is to play in Europe. There are five matches left, it’s not impossible, so we have to keep winning,” Boufal told BeIN Sports.
With six wins in their last seven Ligue 1 matches, Lille have found their form at a crucial stage of the campaign, giving them a strong chance to finish in a European qualification spot. Their recent resurgence has reignited their push for a place in next season’s European competitions, and with the momentum on their side, they’ll be hoping to continue their strong run in the remaining fixtures.
Lille’s ambition to reach Europe once again highlights the growing strength and confidence of the club as they aim to cement their place among France’s elite teams. The coming weeks will be critical in determining whether they can secure a spot in continental football for next season.
