UEFA Champions League: Paris match features Lille

/noticias.info/ The venue for this season's final, the Stade de France, will get an early taste of UEFA Champions League football after LOSC Lille Métropole announced today that they will play their matches at the prestigious Paris venue.

Away draw
Lille had to wait until today's draw in Monaco to see whether they would play their games at the Stade Félix-Bollaert home of RC Lens or the national stadium. Had they been drawn at home on Matchday 6 they would have had to take the former option as the Stade de France is unavailable on 6 December, only for an away assignment at Villarreal CF to allow them to choose their first-choice venue.

'Prestigious venue'
"We'll be playing in a prestigious arena," said Lille's capital-born striker Matt Moussilou. "I was keen on playing at Bollaert but in Paris I'll be able to catch up with family and friends." Team-mate Jean Makoun added: "I hope it will be a lucky ground for us." Lille also face Manchester United FC and SL Benfica in Group D. notas_de_prensa_archivo
