  When Lille lost its opening Champions League match in September, only a few bold gamblers would have bet on the Ligue 1 side to qualify for the last 16 of European club soccer's elite tournament. But the northern France side defied all the odds and concluded the league phase campaign of the competition with a 6-1 thrashing of Feyenoord on Wednesday.

Lille secured a dramatic and unexpected advancement to the last 16 of the Champions League with a 6-1 victory over Feyenoord in their final group stage match. Despite being at the bottom of Group E before the game, Lille's win, combined with Atletico Madrid's 2-0 defeat of Lazio, allowed them to leapfrog both teams. The match saw Lille score four goals in the first half, with standout performances from Edon Zhegrova, who scored twice, and Jonathan David, who also netted twice. This result not only highlighted Lille's resilience but also marked a significant upset in the competition, showcasing their potential on the European stage.
