Lille pulled off one of the biggest surprises of UEFA Champions League matchday two by defeating 15-time champions Real Madrid 1-0, marking their eighth win in their last nine European home games.After a 3-1 victory over Stuttgart in their Champions League opener, Los Blancos were keen to build on that success. They looked threatening early on, with Jude Bellingham’s relentless pressing allowing Vinícius Júnior to unleash a powerful shot, only to be denied by Lille goalkeeper Lucas Chevalier. However, the home side was far from intimidated, with Jonathan David forcing Real’s keeper Andriy Lunin into a brilliant double save as Lille began to push forward.UCL: Montilivi madness! Two own goals, two missed penalties and a whole lot moreLille nearly broke the deadlock in unusual fashion when Benjamin André’s mishit cross almost caught Lunin off guard, clipping the crossbar before bouncing away. Their persistence paid off right before halftime when Edon Zhegrova’s free-kick was blocked by Eduardo Camavinga’s hand inside the box. David confidently stepped up to the penalty spot and finally got the better of Lunin, sending the goalkeeper the wrong way and giving Lille a 1-0 lead.🚨🇪🇺 𝐆𝐎𝐀𝐋 | Lille 1-0 Real Madrid | Jonathan DavidJONATHAN DAVID OPENS THE SCORING FOR LILLE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!pic.twitter.com/NsN3uidBvt— Tekkers Foot (@tekkersfoot) October 2, 2024 YOU CAN WATCH THE GOAL HEREThe second half saw Lille continue to press, with Zhegrova narrowly missing the chance to extend their lead when his curling effort sailed just wide of the post. Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti, looking to change the game, brought on Kylian Mbappé before the hour mark, but even his presence couldn’t spark a comeback. Real struggled to create clear opportunities, and by the 85th minute, they still hadn’t managed a shot on target in the second half.Real’s best opportunity came moments later when Arda Güler’s header was redirected by Antonio Rüdiger, but Lille’s Tiago Santos cleared the ball off the line. In the dying moments, Luka Modrić found Güler unmarked in the box, but Chevalier’s outstretched leg secured the three points for Lille. This dramatic victory marked the first-ever meeting between the two clubs, leaving Lille to celebrate a memorable night on the European stage.UEFA CHAMPIONS LEAGUE – MATCHDAY 2TuesdaySalzburg – Brest 0-4 (0-1)/Sima 24, 70, Camara 66, Lage 76/Stuttgart – Sparta Praha 1-1 (1-1)/Millot 7 – Kairinen 32/Leverkusen – Milan 1-0 (0-0)/Boniface 51/Dortmund – Celtic 7-1 (5-1)/Can 8 pen, Adeyemi 11, 29, 42, Guirassy 40 pen, Nmecha 79 – Maeda 9/Barcelona – Young Boys 5-0 (3-0)/Lewandowski 8,51, Raphinha 34, Martinez 37, Camara 81 og/Inter – Crvena Zvezda 4-0 (1-0)/Calhanoglu 11, Arnautovic 59, Martinez 71, Taremi 81 pen/Arsenal – PSG 2-0 (2-0)/Havertz 20, Saka 35/Slovan B. – Man.City 0-4 (0-2)/Gundogan 8, Foden 15, Haaland 58, Mcatee 74/PSV – Sporting 1-1 (1-0)/Schouten 15 – Braganca 83/WednesdayGirona – Feyenoord 2-3 (1-2)/Lopez 20, van de Beek 74 – Herrera 23 og, Milambo 33, Krejci 79 og/Shakhtar – Atalanta 0-3 (0-2)/Djimsiti 21, Lookman 44, Bellanova 48/Dinamo Zagreb – Monaco 2-2 (1-0)/Sucic 45+3, Baturina 66 – Salisu 75, Zakaria 90 pen/Lille – Real Madrid 1-0 (1-0)/David 45+3 pen/Benfica – Atl.Madrid 4-0 (1-0)/Akturkoglu 13, Di Maria 52 pen, Bah 75, Kokcu 84 pen/Aston Villa – Bayern 1-0 (0-0)/Duran 79/RB Leipzig – Juventus 2-3 (1-0)/Sesko 30, 65 – Vlahovic 50, 68, Conceicao 83/Liverpool – Bologna 2-0 (1-0)/Mac Allister 11, Salah 75/Sturm – Club Brugge 0-1 (0-1)/Tzolis 23/
