After being thoroughly spanked by Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in a Champions League group game last night, Les Dogues have faced a lot of criticism from all corners of France
Humiliated, mocked and thoroughly exploited, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lille-OSC-c39800 had a hangover this Thursday morning. After being hammered 6-1 by German giants Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena, Rudi Garcia’s side was dealt with a real footballing lesson in Bavaria.
Considering the team Rudi Garcia has at his disposal, the defeat must have been very painful. Still a year after the coronation as champions of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899, Les Dogues were expected to be the most entertaining French teams in Europe.
However, after conceding five goals inside 38 minutes, the Great Danes have become the laughing stock of footballing world.
L’Equipe reporters were very angry with the way the team performed and in this morning’s paper, called the Ligue 1 side’s dismissal from the tournament as a “ridiculous end”. Although Le Parisien staff must be happy to see Paris Saint-Germain edge closer
to the round of 16, the staff didn’t save an inch for Lille apart from calling Lille’s last night outing as “the nightmare of Lille”.
Another newspaper in La Voix http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Du-c11689 Nord called the game as an unspeakable end of the team’s hopes to play in the knockout phases of the UEFA Champions League.
And, Rudi Garcia was equally hurt to see the way his side were given a hiding to remember by a side that is keen to end its own nightmarish run in the competition. The French tactician was hopeful about his side’s chances to secure a positive result against
the Germans in a bid to stand a chance to secure qualification to the next phase of the competition.
In the other group game, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 managed to beat tournament’s surprise package, BATE Borisov 3-2 at the Mestalla Stadium which means that the Belarusians still have a great chance of securing a place in the next round of the tournament even though they
trail the top two teams by three points.
Lille on the other hand, must now turn their attentions towards the domestic calendar and try to fight for a podium place which for now, seems unlikely given their current standing in the Championnat.
