The defeat conceded by Losc on the Sporting pitch confirmed the difficulties of French clubs in Portugal.
After a start to the match in which Lille held their own, Losc extended the black streak of French clubs in Portugal in the Champions League. Weighed down by the exclusion of Angel Gomes shortly after the half-hour mark, Lille lost 2-0.
In 21 C1 matches in Portugal, French clubs have only won one match, four draws and no fewer than 16 defeats.
The only victory of a French team in Portugal in the Champions League still belongs to Olympique de Marseille, winner 2-0 on the Sporting pitch in the fall of 2022.
