Lille last won the Ligue 1 in the 2020/21 season and they will be aiming to win their 5th league crown this time around.
It will be interesting to see if they can battle Paris Saint Germain, who will be without the services of trident – Mbappe, Messi, and Neymar, with the trio having all fully exited the club.
Kylian Mbappe was the last player to exit the Parc Des Princes side among the trio and it will be interesting to see how his future pans out at Santiago Bernabeu.
Additionally, Ethan Mbappe is expected to be Lille’s first signing this summer and they will be hoping that he will produce remarkable performances in the coming years, possibly with the hope of selling him for a huge amount, like Nicolas Pepe was also sold to Arsenal in 2019 for a fee of €80 million.
