Men's football•

Check out the key numbers ahead of the game between LOSC Lille and Paris Saint-Germain, which kicks off at 20:45 CEST tonight (Matchday 2 of Ligue 1) at the Stade Pierre Mauroy.

On 12th June 1971, Les Rouge et Bleu added the very first trophy to their now 60-strong collection by beating Lille 4–2 at the Stade Jean Bouin to claim the Championnat National (now Ligue 2) title.

On 21st August 2022, Les Parisiens recorded their second biggest away league win of all time by thrashing Lille 7–1 at the Stade Pierre Mauroy. The largest-ever margin of victory achieved by the capital club’s men, however, came in their 9–0 demolition of Troyes on 13th March 2016, while they also beat Caen 6–0 on 16th September 2016.

Luis Enrique’s players have suffered just five defeats in their last 59 games on the road, alongside an exceptional tally of 42 wins and 12 draws in these matches.

Five of Paris’s six fastest-ever top-flight goals have come against Lille and have been scored by the following players: Kylian Mbappé (00:08, 21st August 2022), Maxwell (00:26, 25th April 2015), Zlatan Ibrahimović (00:27, 2nd September 2012), Noureddine Kourichi (own goal, 00:45, 22nd October 1983) and Safet Sušić (00:48, 20th October 1990).

Les Parisiens have avoided defeat in each of their last ten competitive meetings with Lille, registering eight wins and two draws in that time.

Kylian Mbappé is Paris Saint-Germain’s top scorer against Lille, with his 11 goals putting him ahead of Dominique Rocheteau (eight goals scored, including six at the Parc des Princes), Safet Sušić (seven goals scored) and Neymar Jr (six goals scored) as well as both Edinson Cavani and Lucas (five goals scored each).

This will be Paris Saint-Germain’s 19th competitive fixture at the Stade Pierre Mauroy, where they have built up an outstanding record of 13 wins, four draws and just one loss since the stadium’s official opening on 17th August 2012. Note: these figures take into account the capital club’s three trips there in the Coupe de France, with wins over Wasquehal FC (1–0 in the last 64 on 3rd January 2016), Olympique Lyonnais (2–1 in the final on 25th April 2024) and USL Dunkerque (4–2 in the semi-finals on 1st April 2025).

31 men have played for both teams: Jocelyn Angloma, Hatem Ben Arfa, Mathieu Bodmer, François Brisson, Bernard Bureau, Yohan Cabaye, Lucas Chevalier, Aliou Cissé, Lucas Digne, Oumar Dieng, Pierre Dréossi, Pierre-Alain Frau, Idrissa Gueye, Jonathan Ikoné, Mickaël Landreau, Bernard Lama, Christophe Landrin, Ethan Mbappé, Thomas Meunier, Edvin Murati, Pascal Nouma, Bernard Pardo, Christian Perez, Stéphane Pichot, Jacky Planchard, Thierry Rabat, David Rozehnal, Younousse Sankharé, Renato Sanches, Amara Simba and Timothy Weah.
