On Sunday evening, Lille secured their place in the Europa League next season after defeating Montpellier 2-1 in the final round of the French top flight. The victory came courtesy of a goal from forward Jonathan David.
David's strike was enough to secure Lille's place in Europe for the coming season, as they finished third in Group A of the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds. It was also a significant moment for the Canadian international, who has made a name for himself on the international stage since his debut for Canada at the age of 17.
The match against Montpellier saw Lille dominate possession and create numerous chances, but it was not until the second half that they found the breakthrough. After a period of pressure from the visitors, Lille broke the deadlock through a well-taken goal from David.
The win means that Lille will be looking to build on this success in the upcoming season, while also hoping to make a strong showing in Europe. With their qualification confirmed, the team can now focus on securing another trophy in the domestic league.
