In the thrilling conclusion of the Ligue 1 round 32, Lille secured their place in the Europa League with a dominant victory over Rennes at Stade de France. The match was played on Sunday evening and saw Lille take the lead early on through a stunning strike by forward Jonathan David.
David's goal proved to be the game-changer as he capitalized on a mistake made by Rennes goalkeeper Benjamin Kongo to score from close range. The goal gave Lille the lead and they never looked back, securing all three points with a convincing 3-0 win.
The result means that Lille is now just two points behind Nice, who also won their round 32 clash against Strasbourg. If Nice manage to beat Metz next weekend, then Lille will have a chance to qualify for the Europa League via the league table.
Lille's victory has been a huge boost for their season, which had seen them struggle at times. However, they remain in the hunt for European football and will be hoping to continue their good form in the coming weeks.
Overall, it was a fantastic display of team spirit and skill from Lille, who showed why they are one of the most exciting teams in French football. With only two points separating them from Europe, there is still plenty of football left to play and Lille will surely be looking to build on this impressive performance.
