Lille beat Nantes 1-0 in their Ligue 1 match on Saturday evening, securing their place in the Europa League next season. The result was all the more impressive given that Lille had been struggling recently and were down in the relegation zone.

The match started off with both teams looking for an early goal. However, it was Lille who broke the deadlock in the 24th minute when Bentaleb scored from close range after receiving a pass from Eduardo Camavinga. The goal was well taken and put Lille ahead, which they would not relinquish.

Despite Nantes' efforts to equalize, Lille held firm and secured their place in the Europa League. The victory was a much-needed boost for Lille, who had struggled in recent weeks. The team will now focus on preparing for the new season, hoping to continue their success and secure a top-four finish this time around.
