Real Madrid is set to clash with LOSC Lille in a pivotal UEFA Champions League group stage match, which will be held at the Pierre Mauroy Stadium in Villeneuve-d’Ascq, France. The fixture, scheduled for Wednesday, October 2, 2024, has garnered significant attention due to the anticipated return of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid’s lineup.
