In their last Europa League match, Lille had to work hard to beat Red Star Belgrade 2-0 after overtime. Giroud and Ngô scored for the Red and Blues. Igamane leads the club's scoring charts, with four goals and an assist. The Bulldogs also performed reliably in the French league, beating Nantes 1-0 at home in their final matchday.
