Lille Goalkeeper: In the Future, We Can Proudly Say We Defeated Real Madrid

In the early hours of October 3rd, Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier became the hero of his team in the match against Real Madrid. In this game, Lille, coached by Genesio, defended solidly at home and successfully withstood multiple attacks from Real Madrid. Chevalier, wearing the number 30 jersey, made five crucial saves, ensuring that the goal remained unbreached, ultimately helping the team secure an important victory.

After the match, Chevalier could hardly contain his excitement, calling this victory one of the most glorious moments in Lille’s club history. “As the club chairman said, we are not here to take photos with Real Madrid players. We won this game, which may be one of the most beautiful victories in our team’s history.”

Chevalier added, “I believe that no matter how many years pass, people will remember this match. Twenty years from now, when I retire, I can proudly tell my children that I once defeated Real Madrid. Today, both teams demonstrated a high level of competitive performance.”

Chevalier further commented, “Although this is just a victory in the group stage, it is definitely one of the most exciting games in my career, possibly ranking among the top three. Before the match, almost no one expected us to win. But Lille not only showed firm determination but also proved that even when facing stronger opponents, we can take control of the game. Until the last moment of the match, both sides maintained intense competition. Lille performed well in ball possession and defense. Real Madrid is a team adept at ball control and quick counterattacks, but we successfully limited their performance.”

To achieve better results in the Champions League, Chevalier believes Lille needs to maintain such performances. “We need to continue demonstrating the same level under the tight schedule of playing every two weeks. We will have to wait and see if we have enough strength. But what is certain is that Lille has proven that we can challenge any opponent.”

Before the match, the general public did not favor Lille defeating Real Madrid, especially with several key players out due to injuries. However, the Lille players who participated responded to doubts with their actions, particularly the 17-year-old youngster Ayoub Bouadhi, whose performance was particularly eye-catching and impressive.
