In a shocking upset, Lille pulled off a 1-0 home victory against reigning champions Real Madrid in the Champions League group stage on Wednesday. This victory marked the end of Real Madrid’s impressive 14-game unbeaten streak in the competition.
The lone goal came from Jonathan David, who converted a penalty just three minutes into the first-half stoppage time. This defeat also marked Real Madrid’s first loss across all competitions since January, ending a remarkable 36-game unbeaten run.
The result propelled Ligue 1 side Lille to three points from their first two games in the newly formatted European club competition. Meanwhile, Real Madrid, who had won their opening match against VfB Stuttgart, also sits on three points. This sets the stage for an intense battle for supremacy in Group B.
