Real Madrid 'fail' against Lille and the Champions League is complicated (1-0)

Real Madrid continue their particular 'fall into hell'. The Merengue team visited the Pierre-Mauroy Stadium to face Lille on the second day of the 2024-2025 Champions League and suffered their first defeat of the season. With a goal from Jonathan David from the penalty spot, the French team achieved a fair victory against a white team that did not 'give a foot with a ball' and completed another shameful presentation.

Carlo Ancelotti still cannot find the way to his team and is beginning to lose credit within Madrid. The Viking team was totally outclassed by their rival from the first minute, with a missing Vinicius and a Bellingham who seems to have left his best form in the past season. On the contrary, Lille showed its most rebellious side and did not stop generating danger at the feet of Bouaddi, Zhegova and David, three of the great figures of the French triumph.

The Whites barely had a clear chance with Endrick, whose shot in the one-on-one crashed into Chevalier's chest. When both teams were about to head to the locker room, the VAR intervened to award a penalty as if it were a cathedral-like one for a handball by Camavinga and David would exchange it for the definitive goal of the victory.

Barça is already above Madrid

From then on, the rest of the match was testimonial, with the second half serving only to confirm that Madrid is a broken team without ideas, that depends on individual players and that aims for a new 'nothing' if they maintain the level shown at the start of the season.

In addition, with the defeat in Lille, the Merengues are in seventeenth position in the league table, one place below FC Barcelona, ​​which occupies sixteenth place after Tuesday's spectacular thrashing of Young Boys.

A defeat that, by the way, leaves them with no margin for error. After the match against the French, Los Blancos will have to face Borussia Dortmund, AC Milan and Liverpool. Three real 'trials of fire' in which any 'stumble' could leave them without a chance in the Champions League. The Santiago Bernabéu is 'on fire'.
