• Sacred champion of France on Sunday, Losc celebrated its title on Monday.

  • The champion's trophy was presented to the Luchin training center.

  • Then, the players paraded in a double-decker bus in front of thousands of supporters through the streets of the city.

It is a celebration that the people of Lille will not soon forget.

Coming by the thousands to cheer the new French champions hoisted on a double-decker bus in the streets of Lille, Losc supporters also took advantage of this celebration to breathe and breathe a deep breath after a difficult year.

" One is happy.

After everything that has happened this year with the Covid, we are happy.

It had been a long time since we had seen this in Lille and in France.

We missed this kind of gathering, ”appreciates Louis, a 25-year-old supporter.

Same opinion with Pierre, fan of Losc for fifty-five years.

" It's extraordinary.

We didn't expect to experience it again this year.

Seeing this popular fervor after a year of deprivation of liberty is also a beautiful symbol.

It is a great moment of collective joy.

"

An intimate presentation of the trophy at the Luchin training center

The same goes for players deprived of the public in the stadiums in this very special year. Perched on the double-decker bus, the Fonte, Yilmaz (arched in a beautiful white shirt) or even Sanches were finally able to commune with their thousands of supporters who came for the occasion. To the sound of firecrackers, the smells of smoke and pro-Lille songs, it is a beautiful and joyful procession, with and without masks, which took place in the city over the two kilometers that separate the park from the Citadel of the town hall of Lille.

The most beautiful conclusion after 24 hours of jubilation.

Returning at four in the morning from their victorious trip to Angers, the players with small eyes were still struggling to achieve their feat on Monday afternoon.

In an intimate atmosphere made up of the families of the players and the young people of the club, Losc received its champion's trophy in its training center in the Luchin area.

If the town hall of Lille and the Pierre-Mauroy stadium had been considered for a time, the health context had the last word.

And if the fervor was not there, the emotion was very real.

The double-decker bus almost stayed in the garage

“It's really a collective victory but we will really realize it in a week or two.

It's a complicated time for everyone.

Football is shared with supporters, but we've been cut off from it for a year and a half.

We see that the city is on fire, it balances our hearts.

The supporters are doing the job ”, relishes Benjamin André, the Lille midfielder.

However, it came close to that the communion with the fans did not go as planned.

Before leaving Luchin to reach Lille city center, a veritable deluge of rain fell in the northern metropolis.

So much so that replacing the double-decker bus with a closed bus was considered for a while.

Fortunately, a breakthrough came and everything could go as planned.

To the delight of Christophe Galtier.

Galtier does not confirm his departure from Losc

“When I left my home this Monday morning, I saw that a lot of people were proud to be Lille and it is very pleasant for me to transmit so much happiness, joy and pride to the supporters.

It is very pleasant to be in the slack today.

It's a great performance and it's top top top, ”exclaims the Lille coach.

Announced on departure, Galtier did not want to confirm his possible departure.

“I have an appointment with my president, not to give him my decision or my position, but quite simply to discuss and share with him.

After that, we will make a decision, always in the interest of the club and in that of each other.

Nothing is done ”.

But whatever happens this bunch of players and their coach have definitely made history at the club.

For the performance, for the incredible party after Covid but also for eternity.

“This group of players will be linked for life through this season.

I wanted them to be tattooed with this title so that they can maintain it all their lives, ”concludes the northerner coach.

An indelible tattoo for them and for all Lille supporters who will never forget this magnificent communion.
