By finishing second in its group behind AC Milan, Lille risked falling on a big chunk in the round of 16 of the Europa League. It’s the case. Christophe Galtier’s formation will face Ajax Amsterdam. Finalist of the Europa League in 2017 (0-2 against Manchester United) and semi-finalist of the C1 in 2019 (1-0, 2-3 against Tottenham), the Dutch team has returned to the fore on the European scene. Third in its Champions League group this season, behind Liverpool and Atalanta, Ajax has been transferred to C3. The first leg will be on February 18, the return leg on February 25.
It will be a reunion between two clubs that clashed in the Champions League last year. The Dutch had won twice (3-0 in Amsterdam and 2-0 in Lille) against the Nordists.
