The victory (3-0) without trembling against AC Ajaccio on Saturday at Bollaert allowed the Lensois public to have a huge party to celebrate this return to the most prestigious of European competitions, 21 years after the last participation. At the time, the Sang et Or finished 3rd in their group behind AC Milan and Deportivo La Corogne but ahead of Bayern Munich. After this remarkable 2022-23 financial year, the northern club nevertheless expects a lively summer transfer window. Several players are likely to be in great demand, such as Seko Fofana, Kevin Danso and Loïs Openda, to name but a few. Without forgetting Franck Haise, whose future is also uncertain.

Lens does not want to make up the numbers

In an interview given to The voice of the Norththe president of RC Lens Joseph Oughourlian was delighted with this return to the European scene. “We are a club that can and must play in Europe, assures the leader in the columns of La Voix du nord. We are delighted that it is the Champions League. I did not imagine it after five years (…) I do not think that we will do poorly in the European Cup”he estimated.

Recipes that will explode

The Lensois leader is obviously delighted to see his club grow from year to year and intends to continue this progress. “For three years, Lens has changed in dimension. When I took over the club, we had 17 million euros in revenue. With the Champions League, we may reach 120 million next year”he continued before delivering a more cautious message. “You have to be careful, you shouldn’t see yourself more beautiful or taller than you are”.
