The draw of the groups of the 2019/20 Champions League rather spared French clubs, Thursday, August 29, even if Lille is doing worse than the PSG and Lyon.
The Parisians will have to get their ticket for the eighth in a group A in which he will find Real Madrid Zinedine Zidane, Brugge FC and the champion of Turkey, Galatasaray. A task for the teammates of Kylian Mbappé, even if the double-confrontation against the Madrilenians may seem difficult.
Lyon is doing well
For OL, the road seems clear, since the Rhone club has inherited a very affordable G pool with Zenith Saint-Petersburg (seed), Benfica Lisbon (champion of Portugal) and the Germans RB Leipzig, new terror of the Bundesliga.
Lille avoids the worst
As for Lille, the draw could have been much more problematic, even if the Dogues will have a lot to do in Pool H with Chelsea (last Europa League winner), Ajax Amsterdam (semi-finalist of the C1) and Valencia CF, heavyweight La Liga.
