Match after match, Lille advances without stumbling. Away from the spotlight, the Mastiffs have built an impressive series of invincibility which could soon cross a symbolic bar. A historic meeting is looming this week against Rouen in the Coupe de France. A new undefeated performance and LOSC would equal a record that has stood for half a century.
It was in fact during the 1973-1974 season that Lille achieved an exceptional series: 17 consecutive matches without the slightest defeat, in all competitions. At the time, under the leadership of Georges Peyroche, LOSC dominated the debates and finished as French Division 2 champions. Fifty years later, Bruno Genesio and his men are very close to equaling this feat. Note also that even Rudi Garcia’s team, victorious in the double in 2011, had not achieved such a performance.
LOSC, fifty years later
The current dynamic of the Dogues is based on a solid collective and an airtight defense. Their ability to avoid defeat in all competitions speaks volumes about their mentality and solidity. It’s no longer a coincidence: Lille has not lost for almost three months, stringing together positive results against high-level opponents.
A page of history to write
For players and fans alike, this record is much more than a statistic. It symbolizes the resurgence of a club determined to be long-term. As Aïssa Mandi explains: “It shows that we are a united group. We play for each other. » Facing Rouen, Lille will have only one objective: to extend this series to make a little more history.
