Match Facts

  • Liverpool and Lille’s only previous meetings in Europe came back in the 2009-10 UEFA Europa League, with the Reds progressing from the Last 16 with a 3-1 aggregate victory (lost 0-1 away and won 3-0 at home).

  • Lille have only won one of their 10 games against English sides in the UEFA Champions League (D2 L7), losing each of the last six in a row. Their only victory against an English opponent in the competition was in November 2005, beating Manchester United 1-0 in a home game.

  • Only two French sides have ever won away to Liverpool in major European competition (Marseille in 2007 and Lyon in 2009), with 12 of their 15 combined trips ending in defeat (D1). Indeed, the only side to keep a clean sheet there from the 15 attempts was Marseille in their 2007 victory (1-0).

  • Liverpool have won each of their last 10 group/league phase games at Anfield in the UEFA Champions League, scoring 22 goals and only conceding three times. The last team to avoid defeat or keep a clean sheet there in the group/league phase was Atalanta back in November 2020 (a 2-0 win).

  • Liverpool have won all six of their UEFA Champions League games this season, including the last five without conceding a single goal. They could become just the second team in European Cup/Champions League history to win six in a row and keep a clean sheet in each, after Leeds United in 1969-70 (6). 

  • Lille are unbeaten in their last five matches in the UEFA Champions League (W4 D1), their longest run ever in the competition. Indeed, the only side on a longer current unbeaten streak in the competition are their opponents Liverpool (6).

  • 13 different Liverpool players have either scored or assisted a goal in the UEFA Champions League this season; the most by any team in the competition. Indeed, of the 15 outfield players who’ve made 3+ UCL appearances for the Reds this term, only two of them are yet to score or assist a goal (Ryan Gravenberch and Joe Gomez).

  • Mohamed Salah has already assisted four goals for Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League this season; the joint-most by any player in 2024-25. If he provides an assist in this game, he will equal Samuel Eto’o from 2010-11 for the most assists by an African player in a single edition of the tournament (5).

  • Among players to have contested 20+ individual duels in the UEFA Champions League this season, Lille defender Bafodé Diakité has the highest success rate in the competition (76% - 16/21).

  • Lille’s Benjamin André has won possession more times than any other midfielder in the UEFA Champions League this season (42). 28 of those have come in the middle third of the pitch, which is the most of any player across all positions.
