Lille are champions of France, ten years after the last league title. A title that comes with Lille as an outsider, against a Psg at the maximum of their growth. A victory that shows the importance of programming, ideas and the right men behind the project.
The footprint of Luis Campos - A man who is already far away from Lille, since December, but whose influence in this project is massive. The Portoguese arrived to the French Club as sporting director in 2017, starting looking for talents all over the world and who have been sold at the double, triple or more the price of the purchase. Luis Campos was also the sporting director of Monaco i 2016, when Mbappe's team won Ligue 1 against Psg.
Galtier - the frontman. Arrived in 2018 to a team close to the battle to avoid relegation, Christophe Galtier has brought the team back to Champions League one year ago and have enhanced players like Osimhen, Pepè and Leao. And now the Ligue 1 title, with new talents as Maignan, Ikonè, David and Botman: "My players are like my sons".
The team has also won thanks to a big dose of experience: it came from the protagonists of 2011 Ligue 1 title, but also from players in the team. Burak Yilmaz (35 years old, 27 league appearances and 16 goals), Josè Fonte, Mike Maignan who is followed by Milan.
It's the Dogues win. A battling, fighter and strong team, with also a big amount of quality. But it's not a miracle, it's the result of programming, exact ideas put on by the management and followed on the pitch by the work of the coach. Lille are Ligue 1 champions again.
