Ten years later, the Losc has already done as well as its prestigious predecessor. To be crowned champion of France in 2011, the northern club had scored 76 points, the club’s historic record. Winner Saturday of Nice (2-0), Losc 2021 has already equaled this mark … three days from the end.
“Breaking records is always good. There he is equaled. He will have to be beaten to be champion. If it is to beat him and not be champion, it will go down in history but he will miss the title because we have been concentrating on it for two games, ”recalls Christophe Galtier.
“Even with 76 points, we are not sure of finishing champion, neither second nor third”
Because with an average of more than two points per game, Losc is still not guaranteed to win the title or even the podium as recognized by the Lille coach. “Before the Qatari PSG arrived, you were often champions with two points average per game. There it will take a lot more points. Even with 76 points, we are not sure of finishing champion, neither second nor third. It is nevertheless the reality of this magnificent championship ”.
A championship that the northern club now dreams of winning. To continue to panic the counters but also and above all to achieve one of the most beautiful exploits in its history against PSG of Neymar and Mbappé.
