Lille has much to do!

This Friday afternoon, UEFA conducted the draw for the group phase of the Europa League, successor to the defunct UEFA Cup. Lille and Toulouse, the two French teams still involved inherit groups more or less accessible.

The Haute-Garonne them will get rid of Partizan Belgrade, FC Bruges and Shakhtar Donetsk, eliminated early from the Champions League.

Group A

Pour l'Ajax Amsterdam, cela sent bon... The Dutch seem to have the means to extricate himself, even if the duel with the RCS Anderlecht feel good major oppositions of the past, between two clubs who are always after European glory.
