Christophe Galtier, Lille coach -

No pretense.
Asked Sunday about his favorite opponent in the round of 16 of the Europa League, Christophe Galtier did not procrastinate.
Second in its group and qualified for the round of 16, Losc will know its opponent on Monday (1 p.m.) during the draw organized in Nyon (Switzerland).
The northern club has a good chance of drawing a big team like Napoli, Manchester United or Tottenham.
Galtier wants to find his former players
Asked about his preference, the Lille coach opted for an English club: "Why not shoot Arsenal, I would be happy to meet some players who are there".
And for good reason, the northerner coach knows well the former Lille Pépé and Gabriel, but also the former Stéphanois Aubameyang.
We do not yet know if the fate will allow this reunion but whatever happens, these round of 32 will be played on February 18 and 25.
